When the Peloponnesian War drags on endlessly, Lysistrata devises a bold plan: women from warring Greek city-states will withhold sex from their husbands until peace is negotiated. The women seize the Acropolis and its treasury, igniting a battle between the sexes. As men grow desperate and tensions escalate, this subversive comedy explores power, desire, and women's agency in a male-dominated society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
