Avg. Event Rating (3.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

What would it take to put an end to war? How about an end to sex? Aristophanes' classic comedy comes to life in a brand-new, fast-paced and bawdy adaptation commissioned especially for City Lights' 25th Anniversary. In this hilarious battle of the sexes, men and women in compromising political positions duel it out before a side-splitting reconciliation between ages and genders. For mature audiences.

    This was certainly a creative production. Not sure I understood all the choices, or agreed with them but some nice laughs, and certainly a broad intepretation of the classic work. Uneven acting, confusing costuming and some odd choices detracted from the other wise entertaining bits. Kudos to the dance, music and set designers. Collapse

    This completely irreverent--but occasionally poignant--play had me burning many extra calories as I blushed through howls of laughter. If you're a prude, stay away. If you like some South Park with your history, this is a must see!! Collapse
