Vermont Actors’ Repertory Theatre will present “Lysistrata” by Aristophanes and translated by Sarah Ruden on April 19, 20, 26, 27th @ 7:30 p.m. and April 21, 28th at 2 p.m. at the West Rutland Town Hall Theatre at 35 Marble Street. “Lysistrata” is a play that both promotes peace and the strength of women. In ancient Greece, Sparta and Athens are at war and the women are tired of their husbands being away for months at a time. Lysistrata comes up with an idea that will bring about a peace treaty. The women left at home will no longer engage in intimacy with the men, until they put down their swords. A group of over 20 actors will present the show in the round with the audience surrounding them on the auditorium floor. The use of platforms will provide a place for both the men and women to present their individual choruses and united ones.
