Award-winning theatre company, Classical Theatre Company, presents the most well-known of Aristophanes’ ancient Greek comedies and the pinnacle of sociopolitical satire, "Lysistrata". The women of Greece have had enough of the seemingly never-ending Peloponnesian War, and they’ve decided to do something about it. Lysistrata gathers the women from across the warring states of Greece and they make a pledge to withhold sex from their men until they agree to make peace with one another and bring an end to this senseless war. “The original anti-war play, "Lysistrata" has been sadly relevant for the last 2,500 years,” says CTC Executive Artistic Director John Johnston. “It’s a shame to see that humanity hasn’t grown past the need for war over the millennia, but if we have to deal with it, at least we can laugh at it, and this play has laughs in spades.”
