In this very loose, modern adaptation of Aristophanes' classic comedy, Lysistrata, a fiery young woman takes sex and politics into her own hands. Fed up with austerity - the economic war waged on Greece by the Troika - she drunkenly launches a sex strike and occupies the Acropolis with her friends and the women of Athens. Fighting hard to maintain their position, armed with dildos and fire extinguishers, she finds it difficult to convince politicians of her arguments and keep her friends together. Performed by an outstanding company of four gender-swapping actors, this epic, sexy tale has tragic consequences.
