Classical Play at Cheney: Lysistrata
On
Tuesday 23rd February, the highly-acclaimed theatre company Actors of
Dionysus are bringing their modern adaptation of the Ancient Comedy
Lysistrata to Cheney School.
The play is described as follows by Actors of Dionysus:
“This
no holds barred comedy, Lysistrata, promises to be both hilarious and
provocative! Follow our heroine, Lysistrata, and the women of Greece in
their (not always heartfelt!) battle to deny their men sex in order to
stop a bloody war. As tensions mount and frustrations erupt, see who
wins and if peace is restored in this high octane, hugely enjoyable and
absurdist version of Aristophanes’ masterpiece.”
Aristophanes
is the one of the greatest ancient playwrights, and this is a unique
opportunity to see one of his most well-known plays brought to life by a
highly skilled theatre company.
The
performance starts 7.30pm
and finishes at 9pm. Tickets are £15 at full price and £12 for
concessions. Tickets can be booked through Actors of Dionysus at http://www.
If you have any questions or would like to book tickets through the school, please let me or Mr Gimson know. Thank you!
