This small book contains only the words from
the opera "Lysistrata and the War" so that it can be
performed as an anti-war play, without the music.
It's based on the ancient Greek play by
Aristophanes, updated to reflect on modern times and
modern wars -- first written when the U.S. president
was Lyndon Johnson, updated later to include
characters named "Richard Stillouse Noxious"
and "General Wantsmorewar," and later
still, "SonuvaBush."New updates can be made with only the
satirical change of names of a few characters.
Some of the music to the opera (written in a
Mozart-like or classical style) can be partially
used, such as the overture, music at the act 2 change,
and the Finale (MP3 below) at the end of the play.More information, plot synopsis, history,
and to hear an MP3 go to:
