The war between the ancient city-states of Athens and Sparta continues with no end in sight. Lysistrata has the solution: she rallies the women of Greece to hold a sex strike to force the politicians and soldiers to come to their senses. Aristophanes’ greatest antiwar comedy mixes fantasy and gender politics with plenty of bawdy jokes, double entendres, and sexual innuendoes—all to create the revolutionary idea that a small group of women can change the course of a war. Directed by Claudio Medeiros ’90. Tickets: $5/4/3

In a comedy that includes the moon landings, a team of gymnastic philosophers, Zeno’s paradox, and a detective who might have stepped from the pages of Agatha Christie (not to mention a hare called Thumper and a tortoise called Pat), playwright Tom Stoppard combines effervescent burlesque with moral urgency. “I write plays because writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself. I’m the kind of person who embarks on an endless leapfrog down the great moral issues. I put a position, rebut it, refute it, refute the rebuttal, and rebut the refutation. Forever. Endlessly.”—Tom Stoppard, from a 1972 interview with Mel Gussow ’55 in The New York Times. Directed by Cheryl Faraone with Alexander Draper ’88 as George Moore. Tickets. $5/4/3
