Double entendres abound as men of Greece attempt to keep Lysistrata and her prurient gang from putting an end to the Peloponnesian war. Notably risqué, this comic drama sheds light on gender relations in ancient Athens Lysistrata: Courtney Nehls Calonice: Natalie Chavez Myrrhine: Thu Hien Pham Lampito: Nick Marotta Stratyllis: Maggie Hogan
