War Will Be Governed By Women!
Men. Simple and violent warmongers. Still someone's got to take care of them. Protect them and keep them safe...from themselves. Oh sure they're hot for blood. They might be hotter for something else though...
The men of Athens are about to learn a (rock) hard lesson.
Aristophanes' Lysistrata was first performed in 411 BC in ancient Athens. This is a brand new rendition of Aristophanes' bawdy comedy about war, peace, penises and priapism.
