uWaterloo Drama presents Lysistrata [After Dark], adapted and directed by
Shaw Forgeron.  This play has been adapted from Aristophanes' original
script Lysistrata which was written in 411 BC.   This undergraduate thesis
project has been produced and is performed by a group of talented theatre
students from the UW Drama Department as part of their ongoing studies.

Given the choice, would you rather have world peace forever OR no more sex
ever again?  The answer is obvious, but, for the citizens of ancient Athens,
things are a little more complicated.  When the women of Greece deliver a
stiff ultimatum, bitter rivalries must be set aside, and a nation's
democracy is taken to task.  In a contemporary musical adaptation of
Aristophanes' classical text, gender roles, politics, and religion all come
under scrutiny.  Lysistrata [AD] is sexy-fun, funny, and fantastical - where
sexuality is a mechanism to exploit status, stigma, and stereotyping.
You'll laugh, you'll think on important issues, and you may become
intriguingly aroused (because that's important too)!
