While I was cautioned that this was a simple workshop and not to expect a full-blown production I came away from Lysistrata Rape Play feeling strongly moved and affected by what I’d seen, and frankly didn’t see much lacking. The performances where superb, the message was strong and the theme was fully realized, both in homage to the originalLysistrata as well as in the brand new world it was meant to capture. If this was a simple first incarnation I can’t wait to see this play re-mounted.
