It is 411 BC. The Peloponnesian War is ravaging the cities of Sparta and Athens, taking thousands of lives. One fierce Athenian woman has had enough.

This summer, Edinburgh Acting School presents Ellen McLaughlin's adaptation of Aristophanes' Lysistrata, a sassy comedy showing Spartan and Athenian women put their differences aside to bring peace to their land. United under boss-ass Lysistrata, the women seize power and go on a sex strike to show who really run Ancient Greece!

Please note that this show has sexual references throughout and is not suitable for under 16's.

- ONLINE LIVE STREAM: This will give you access to watch the show live at home on the night of the performance. £5.00 per person + booking fee, and we ask that you purchase accordingly to who will be viewing.
