Lysistrata - Final Performance

For years the weapons have been clashing in Greece, men march off to war with enthusiasm - and the women have had enough. Enough of the dying, the pathos, the endless "For glory and the fatherland!".

So Lysistrata - sharp-witted, sharp-tongued and utterly determined - makes a decision: no more sex. The heroes will be denied their "reward". Women from across Greece, even from enemy Sparta, join forces, seize the Acropolis, lock away the treasury and declare a love strike. No money for weapons, no intimacy for warriors - until peace finally arrives.

What follows is a blend of political chaos, desperate men, resolute women and absurd situations - with biting humour, brazen sensuality and a surprisingly contemporary edge. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
