Lysistrata

Lysistrata was an interesting piece. When I found it my initial reaction was that it was going to be a long and boring play. It was actually more interesting than I expected. The language and style of humor were more modern sounding than I had expected. The words were much more explicit at times and cleverly hinting at time is a way that was reminiscent of a modern comedy. The Feminist Ideas in the play were also surprising for a play that was written over two thousand years ago.
