new version of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, performed by Northern Broadsides
Blake Morrison's re-working of Aristophanes' classic comedy takes on the great issues of our time - race, war, religion, terrorism and sexual morality - with disturbing hilarity.

It's 2007 in the northern mill-town of Blackhurst and intolerable racial tensions are tearing the mixed community apart. Summat MUST be done, and sharpish.

Radical behavious requires a radical plan and Lisa hatches an outrageous plot to encourage peace - a sex strike - no more nooky 'til the fighting stops, with riotously funny consequences.

But as the women of Blackhurst strive towards love...not war...they make a disturbing discovery that turns their local dispute into a demonstration of global proportions.
