Set during the Peloponnesian War, Lysistrata is one of the oldest surviving comedies in theatrical history. The story follows Lysistrata, an Athenian woman fed up with the constant absence of men due to war. She rallies women from both sides of the conflict to take a bold stand: they will withhold sex until peace is achieved. As tensions rise and frustrations mount, the question remains—will the women succeed in ending the war, or will the men persuade them to abandon their cause?
Come be part of the original comedy that started it all—complete with timeless humor and a daring premise!
