Guillotine Theatre to present LYSISTRATA IN JERUSALEM reading as part of International Women's Voices Day.
Lysistrata in Jerusalem is a new play by Jean R. Freedman, with additions and emendations by Abeer Shehadeh.
In Lysistrata in Jerusalem Jean R. Freedman has updated Aristophanes' classic comedy in which women from warring city-states band together and refuse to have sex with their men until a peace treaty is signed. Lysistrata in Jerusalem brings this strategy to the contemporary Middle East, creating a world in which Israeli and Palestinian women seek to end the conflict by taking matters into their own hands.
Admission is free, and the reading is open to the Public
No reservations needed, but inquiries at CathAselford@comcast.net
