Carthage Theatre Presents: Lysistrata

Special Hannibal Lecture:
Directing 'Lysistrata'

In anticipation of Friday's opening, 'Lysistrata' director Hershel Kruger will give a special Hannibal Lecture about the play at 4:55 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, in the Recital Room (Johnson Art Center 340). He will discuss the work that went into putting on such a challenging play.

Carthage Theatre presents Lysistrata Nov. 6-14.

Written by Aristophanes and directed by Herschel Kruger, Lysistrata is the third and concluding play of Aristophanes' War and Peace series.

It is now the twenty-first year of the Peloponnesian War and there seems as little prospect of peace as ever. A desperate state of things demands a desperate remedy in this comical account of one woman's extraordinary mission to end the war. Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace. This production is for mature audiences.

Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 6-7 and Nov. 12-14, and 3 p.m. on Nov. 8. All performances are in the Wartburg Auditorium. It is open to all audiences.
