Lysistrata

by Aristophanes

 

Written in 414 B.C. in the aftermath of yet another disaster in the endless Peleponnesian War, Lysistrata is Aristophanes great send-up of the follies of men and war.

Athenian women fed up with the war barricade themselves in the Acropolis and go on a sex strike to force their husbands to vote for peace with Sparta.

 

Using Nicholas Rudalls modern translation from 1991 the German director Gabrielle Forster staged this comedy in a way the audience will actually enjoy.

 

It's Gabrielle's first theatre performance she directed in New York after having moved here last summer from Mainz, Germany, where she staged well-known plays for 18 years.
