Given the choice, would you rather have world peace forever OR no more sex ever again? The answer is obvious, but, for the citizens of ancient Athens, things are a little more complicated. When the women of Greece deliver a stiff ultimatum, bitter rivalries must be set aside, and a nation's democracy is taken to task. In a contemporary musical adaptation of Aristophanes' classical text, gender roles, politics, and religion all come under scrutiny. Lysistrata [AD] is sexy-fun, funny, and fantastical, where sexuality is a mechanism to exploit status, stigma, and stereotyping. You'll laugh, you'll consider important questions, you may become intriguingly aroused (and that's important too)..!
