In order to stop their men from going off to war, all of the women band together to deny the men sex.

History

First publication: 411 B.C.

Review

Classical comedy from the great era of ancient Athens. Proving that the war between the sexes is not new. As with all plays it is best to visit a performance, but few companies perform these ancient plays today. Highly recommended.
