First performed in 411 BCE, Lysistrata tells the age-old story of the battle between the sexes and reveals that startlingly little has changed in the last 2400 years or so. The women of Greece have grown tired of their men always being at war. Under the direction of an Athenian woman named Lysistrata, they execute a plan to secure a lasting peace. Lysistrata proposes that all the women need to do is withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers until they promise to stop the wars. The men will thus be driven mad with lust and have no choice but to declare peace. Lysistrata's fight is not an easy one, however, as she must deal with the misogynistic views of her male peers, some cantankerous members of the older generation, and even the uncontrollable libido of her fellow protesters. This production will be set in the present day with characters in modern dress.
