About

First presented in 411 BC, Lysistrata is one of the great works from the classical age of drama. It is the third and concluding play in Aristophanes's War and Peace series and portrays a humorous battle of the sexes.

In the twenty-first year of the Peloponnesian War, desperate times call for desperate measures. Angry at being ignored in matters of state and tired of missing their husbands, the women of Athens-led by Lysistrata-refuse to have sex with their men until they put down their weapons.
