Lysistrata
By Aristophanes
November 2005
Directed by Aristophanes
Produced by Marge Trumper
This classic Greek comedy is a delightful account of a woman’s extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War between Greek city states by denying all the men of the land any sex, which was the only thing they truly and deeply desired. Lysistrata persuades the women of the warring cities to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes.
