[NEohioPAL] "Lysistrata" Auditions at Lorain County Community College

[Jeremy Benjamin]

LYSISTRATA



By Aristophanes

Translation by Nicholas Rudall

Directed by Stephanie Wilbert



Lorain County Community College theatre program announces non-equity
auditions for “Lysistrata,” 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.



Copies of the script will be on reserve at the LCCC Bass Library until the
