LCCC ANNOUNCES "LYSISTRATA" AUDITIONS
by Jeremy Benjamin 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

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.

As a children's nursery rhyme counts down the murders, it's up to the guests to discover the killer before none are left.

CAST REQUIREMENTS 11 Roles - 8 M, 3 F Must be 18 years or older Anthony James Marston - a handsome but amoral and irresponsible young man, who killed two young children while driving recklessly, for which he feels no remorse and accepts no personal responsibility. (M, 20s) Mrs Rogers- the cook/housekeeper and Thomas Rogers' wife, a pale and ghost-like woman who walks in mortal fear. (F, 40s+) General John Gordon MacArthur - a retired World War I war hero, who sent his late wife's lover (a younger officer, Arthur Richmond) to his death by assigning him to a mission where it was practically guaranteed he would not survive. (M, 50s+) Rogers - the butler and Ethel Rogers' husband. He dominates his weak-willed wife, and they killed their former employer by withholding her medicine, causing the woman to die from heart failure, thus inheriting the money she bequeathed them in her will. (M, 40s+) Emily Caroline Brent - an elderly, pious spinster who accepts the vacation on Soldier Island largely due to financial constraints. Years earlier, she had dismissed her teenage maid for becoming pregnant out of wedlock.

(F, 50s+) Dr Edward George Armstrong - a fussy doctor, responsible for the death of a patient after he operated on her while drunk many years earlier. (M, 40s+) William Henry Blore - a former police inspector and now a private investigator. Blore arrives under the alias "Davis" from South Africa, on the island for "security work."
