I AM LYSISTRATA / PARK THEATRE /2024
About
A radical modern reimagining of a 2500-year-old Greek comedy about going on a sex strike to end a war, from a company of ten women from lands as far flung as Ukraine, Syria and Zimbabwe, now seeking sanctuary in London. A moving, funny and provocative piece about losing homes and making new ones, sisterhood and solidarity.
I am Lysistrata was devised with the company and performed at the Park Theatre in July 2024. To find out more about their experience creating this production, you can read the blogs below.
