Described as the topical comedy for 2007, Blake Morrison re-works Aristophanes' classic comedy, Lysistrata, to take on the great issues of our time - race, war, religion, terrorism and sexual morality - with disturbing hilarity. It's 2007 in the northern mill-town of Blackhurst and intolerable racial tensions are tearing the mixed community apart. Summat MUST to be done, and sharpish. Radical behaviour requires a radical plan, and Lisa hatches an outrageous plot to encourage peace - a sex strike - no more nooky 'til the fighting stops, with riotously funny consequences. But as the women of Blackhurst strive towards love...not war...they make a disturbing discovery that turns their local dispute into a demonstration of global proportions. This play contains some sexually explicit language and is not suitable for children.T01282658660World PremiereProducer Octagon Theatre Bolton. Company Northern Broadsides. Director Conrad Nelson.
