BREAKDOWN
Lysistrata (F 25-45)- Lysistrata is an Athenian woman who is sick and tired of war and the treatment of women in Athens.
Calonice – (F 30+) is the comedic next-door neighbor of Lysistrata and is the first to show up at Lysistrata's meeting of women. A little crass and a whole lot of funny.
Myrrhine – (F 25-45) If rank were imposed, Myrrhine would be the second strongest woman in Lysistrata. She has a hilarious scene where she teases her husband!
Lampito – (F 20+) is representative of Spartan women. Lampito is a muscular, well-built woman who brings the Spartan women into Lysistrata's plan.
Cinesias – (M 30-60) - The needy, desperate clown that Myrrhine calls her husband. Kinesias is the first man to be affected by the sex strike and comes to the Akropolis, fully enflamed.
Councilor – (M 40+) the head of security and law in Athens but is completely overwhelmed by the women and ends up being dressed as a woman himself.
Men’s Chorus Leader - (M 50+) The Chorus of Old Men live up to their title who teeter around Athens attempting to keep the women in line.
Women’s Chorus Leader – (F 50+) - The Chorus of Old Women seizes and then protects the Akropolis from the Chorus of Old Men.
