The Hole in the Wall Theater (HITW) in New Britain, will present Lysistrata by Aristophanes in a sexy new translation by Sarah Ruden.

When the Greek army refuses to stop the war, Lysistrata (Rowan McDonald of Hartford) leads a strike - no sex until peace is declared. Come enjoy some of the oldest dirty jokes in western civilization in Aristophanes' raunchy comedy about power, persuasion, and getting it on. A proud, queer take on the ancient story.
