[NEohioPAL] LCCC "LYSISTRATA" AUDITIONS FEB 16 AND 17

[Jeremy Benjamin]

LYSISTRATA

By Aristophanes
Translation by Nicholas Rudall
Directed by Stephanie Wilbert

“Lysistrata” is a bawdy anti-war comedy by the ancient Greek playwright
Aristophanes, first staged in 411 BCE. It is the comic account of one
woman’s extraordinary mission to end the Peloponnesian War, as Lysistrata
convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their
husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace. Some consider it
his greatest work, and it is probably the most anthologized. Nicholas
Rudall’s new translation captures the splendid variety of Aristophanes’
astute theatricality and poetic wit.
