Lusistrata; The Battle of the Sexes...

This September, the University of the Freestate presents Lusistrata at the Wynand Mouton theatre in Bloemfontein . The text for Aristophanes" age old comedy, has been translated and adapted for the modern theatre by P. J van Rensburg. Thanks to the expert guidance of director Dr. Stephanie Brink, the relatively inexperienced cast of third year drama students can say their performance does justice to a story which has stood the test of time.

The action takes place in the city of Athens, which is completely devoid of men. Every man, and every almost-man, has been called to war, and whilst they are being killed off in the fighting, their wives are left at home to raise babies and amuse themselves. Lusistrata has called together the women of Athens and Sparta to come up with a way to force their husbands to come to a peace agreement. The battle of the sexes ensues, as the women select silky, transparent night dresses and dainty shoes as their weapons of choice, coupled with a strategy which relies more on falling back than attacking...Yes, Lusistrata"s fighting methods are alternative, but regardless, she quickly manages to prove that it is the women who will take care of the war!

Althouth it has been adapted, the play still makes use of a traditional Greek chorus and elements of exaggerated costuming. The production makes use of sexual themes and suggestive wordplay but no physical love scenes or nudity and is suitable for audience members 16 years and older.
Lusistrata opens at the Wynand Mouton Threatre on the 15th of September will be running until the 17th of September. Performances begin at 19:30 and tickets are available via Computicket.
