Lysistrata April 20, 2007

LYSISTRATA tells the story of a citizenry fed up with war. Sparta and Athens have been fighting for decades with no end in sight, so Lysistrata, an Athenian housewife, takes diplomacy into her own hands. Her strategy: Grecian women won't have sex until there is peace! Ellen McLaughlin's strikingly modern interpretation hilariously satirizes the gender politics and war machinery of a country looking to introduce democracy abroad by any means necessary. Sound familiar? Directed by Noona Nolan.
