Lysistrata

Douglas and I saw Lysistrata Saturday night at Palm Beach Community College. We had never seen the play before, although we knew the story. It was a funny, very raw production. I thought it probably had been changed a lot, but Douglas said Aristophanes wrote very raw plays. Many topical lines were added, and they were quite clever. The students were very good, and the production was a lot of fun. Many in the audience seemed to absolutely love the grossness, and I hope they realize the importance of the message (naturally, because I agree with it.) My question: if so many anti-war productions are out there, why do those of us who are anti-war have no influence?
