Lysistrata: A Female Translation

Attend local playwright Drue Robinson’s adaptation of the bawdy anti-war comedy by the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes when Lysistrata shows this week with performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Western Washington University’s Performing Arts Center Mainstage. Directed by Deb Currier, the tale is a comic account of one woman’s mission to end the Peloponnesian War by convincing the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace.
