Impulse Rep's 2018 season is a Battle of the Sexes, featuring Shakespeare's lusty comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. This tale about a headstrong and self-possessed woman who tests the man she weds to see if he is, indeed, the man for the job, runs in rep with Aristophanes' comedy, Lysistrata. Lysistrata is the long-suffering wife of an Athenian general fighting in a decades-long war. She finally gets fed up and enlists her fellow Athenian woman as well as the women of Sparta (their enemy) to end the war once and for all: by refusing sex to all the men until they come to a peace agreement.
