Boise State University Presents LYSISTRATA

Danny Peterson Theatre (inside the Morrison Center)

Adapted by Ella McLaughlin. Directed by Gordon Reinhart.

This fresh, fast-paced comedy, inspired by the Aristophanes play, follows Lysistrata, an Athenian who calls for the women of Greece to help end the Peloponnesian War. She proposes a radical plan: All Greek women must refuse to engage in lovemaking until the men see reason, lay down their arms, and come home to lie down with their wives in peace. The women agree to make the sacrifice and all hell breaks loose as men wander the country in an agony of unsatisfied lust. Will Lysistrata and her crew accomplish what the politicians could not?

Audio Description is available for the performances on October 23rd at 7:30 PM and October 26th at 2:00 PM.
