Description
. 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. .
