The One-Hour Aristophanes
LYSISTRATA
Directed by Sharon Huff
Adapted by Steve Tillis

Wednesday, October 21, at The Next Stage, 9:00 PM
Straight from the suburbs, a not-so- desperate housewife named Lysistrata decides to organize the soccer moms into a force to stop the endless war between the nations of Athens and Sparta. This support-group of sexy , wild women meet at the Goddess Nail Spa to plan a campaign to end the war by depriving their husbands of the one thing that could disarm themSex.

Women finally decide to rule the roost and tell their macho husbands how to behave. Babies, beauties, and bathwater all get tossed to the wind when the women decide what they want. Dont let Aristophanes fool youhe knows what women wanteven when the classical Greek anti-war comedy looks less like ancient Athens and more like Walnut Creek!

Sharon Huff directs Steve Tillis adaptation, based on the best translations, bringing using the best jokes and the incisive politics of a Greek comedy, brought up to date right down the street. Crank up the karaoke, but leave the Viagra at home--Lysistrata won't let you down!
