Closes tonight! Through Sept. 12 · Cornish Theatre (formerly Intiman Theatre) (201 Mercer St, Seattle)
Make love, not war! Lysistrata is a woman on a mission, rallying the women of her community to put an end to a senseless war by denying their husbands their most basic desires. It's the ultimate battle of the sexes! Aristophanes' audacious story of an anti-war sex strike is brimming with innuendo and bawdy fun that has soul stirring insights into the folly of war and the struggles between the sexes. Purchase tickets.
Nobel prize winner Dario Fo wrote We Won't Pay, We Won't Pay! as a hysterical piece of comic activism. This farce is a playful romp full of heart and high jinks, ultimately illuminating the buoyancy and resiliency of the human spirit as it comes up against everyday life struggles. Think Lucy and Ethel, Laverne and Shirley, Roseanne and Dan, and you'll know what to expect when you meet this cast of buffoons. Purchase tickets.
