Lysistrata Tonight I went to a performance of Lysistrata, which is an anti war comedy written by the Greek dramatist Aristophanes. It tells the story of a group of women who rise up to end war by withholding sex from their mates.
This performance was part of a global reading of this play tonight with 1029 performances in 59 different countries. Anyone else attend one? | |

I actually read this play awhile ago. I would strongly reccommend it to anyone looking for a quick read. Pretty damn funny considering how old it is. Just goes to prove that things never really change... +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Its better to burn out than fade away.... | |

Tonight, it was read all over the world as an anti-war protest. [This message was edited Mon Mar 3 20:46:54 PST 2003 by ThreadBare] | |

Nope... but I definitely remember reading it in college when I took a class in ancient Greek culture. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

There were, like, 16 readings of it here in Minneapolis. I didn't attend either...
I first read it in high school. Hilarious! |

Does it end with all the men saying 'Ah, fuck it!' and having a good jerk-off to get rid of their sexual tension before marching off to war?  | |
