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.
