Connecticut Repertory Theatre to Present LYSISTRATA, 2/26-3/8

Connecticut Repertory Theatre (CRT) will present the Greek comedy Lysistrata in a new adaptation by Jen Wineman in the Nafe Katter Theatre on the UConn-Storrs campus from February 26th through March 8th. See how one woman's crusade to end the Peloponnesian War leads to wild laughter, bawdy puns, and both genders begging to make love, not war. For tickets and information, call 860-486-2113 and visit www.crt.uconn.edu.

Set in the 1940s in a small northeastern town, this titillating new adaptation by Jen Wineman places the heroines in Rosie the Riverter's overalls and Donna Reed's pearls. Lysistrata's campaign to end war leads the women of Athensville to withhold sex from their husbands and lovers to force a peace accord. The demure housewives shed their inhibitions and firmly grasp control of their situation as they tease a peace for the country. The comedic tension builds to a hysterical climax in this raucous, bawdy, happy idea of a play by the "father of comedy" and calls us to seriously consider war through no-holds-barred laughter.

Please call 860-486-2113 for tickets or for more information. Please call or visit the box office for specific show dates and times because performance schedules vary and are subject to change. Tickets available online at www.crt.uconn.edu.
