“We must do something to stop the war. If we don’t, we’ll be silent witnesses while men destroy each other.”

Hellas teeters on the brink of catastrophe. Ravaged by endless war, society has fractured – men sent to fight, women confined to their homes, and an oppressive elite tightens its grip.

But a rebellion is coming.

A group of women launch a bold, unexpected strike to bring the war machine to a halt. They demand a new world. Will they succeed, or is history doomed to repeat itself?

Lysistrata (Uprising) reimagines Aristophanes’ comedy (411 BC) in a not-so-distant dystopian future.
