About This Show

Lysistrata tells the story of citizens 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: a sex strike. Grecian women won’t have sex until there is peace! Originally written by Aristophanes in 411 B.C. and brought to modern hilarity by acclaimed playwright Ellen McLaughlin, Lysistrata offers a timeless and satirical glimpse into gender politics and the ridiculous business of war.
