LYSISTRATA IN JERUSALEM
A new play by Jean R. Freedman
(with additions and emendations by Abeer Shehadeh)
|
In LYSISTRATA IN JERUSALEM Jean R. Freedman has updated of 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.
