| Aristophanes’ Lysistrata was staged in full regalia earlier this month on the Bloomington campus, and two readings are scheduled next week in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis respectively.
The play will be read Monday (March 3) at 5:30 p.m. at the Williams Theatre at IPFW and at 7 p.m. at the Lilly Auditorium of the IUPUI University Library, both as a part of the international Lysistrata Project, in which theater artists are staging the famous Greek comedy.
In the play, women from opposing states in Greece have devised a unique way to end the war in their country; by withholding sex until their men lay down their arms.
The IUPUI reading is free, and donations will be accepted at IPFW for MADRE, a women’s international human rights organization.
