Operation Lysistrata!
Yvette Heyliger's one-act play, Operation Lysistrata! , is inspired by Aristophanes' play, Lysistrata. Starring the wives of the architects of the war in Iraq (yes, that's Laura Bush, Lynne Cheney, Alma Powell and friends!), the play takes place in 2002 before Congress votes on the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution. In the spirit of Aristophane's play, Operation Lyisistrata! captures his strong anti-war message laced in bawdy sexual humor for present-day audiences.
Next Up: Tyler Rivenbark and Jenna Hymes
