The Peloponnesian War drags on and on with no end in sight, and the tough-minded Lysistrata has had enough. Men! - always making stupid decisions that affect everyone. Women's opinions are never listened to.

Taking matters into her own hands, Lysistrata convenes a meeting of women from warring city-states across Greece and calls for a sex strike. It's a hard sell, but in the end, it is agreed: They will withhold sex until the war is brought to hasty a close.

Playing their part, too, the old women of Athens seize control of the Acropolis - and with it, the treasury - holing up behind it's barred gates and choking off the silver that funds the interminable war.

It's a waiting game, and a difficult one - some of the women are already becoming desperate for sex and deserting the cause. But Lysistrata is determined to stay the course and soon restores discipline. The men can't hold out forever...can they?

First staged in 411 BC, Lysistrata is the bawdy, comic account of one woman's singular mission to end the Peloponnesian War using the only means that seems available to her in a male-dominated world.

the narration is pretty terrible but the story is a classic - one of the earliest documented instances of non-violence/civil disobedience for the sake of a social movement

why do the spartans have an irish accent

One person's voice cannot get across an entire play designed to be staged

The intro is a bizarre and creepy rant about whether the play has Christian morality. Tells you a lot about the man writing it that you didn't want to know and nothing about the text, its author, or its context

You get what you pay for and this was free
