Lysistrata

Love, war and women’s lib. Written in the 4th Century BC this is one of the greatest of anti-war plays, as well as a bawdy comedy. Lysistrata and the younger women of Athens hold a sex strike in an attempt to stop the 20 year Peloponnesian war whilst she also leads the older women on an assault of the Acropolis.

Young SixSix presents a bold reimagining of the Ancient Greek Comedy; Lysistrata. Devised by the company, this restless retelling looks at the tragedy of violence and asks who has the power to end war?
