American adaptations of Aristophanes' enduring comedy Lysistrata have used laughter to critique sex, war, and feminism for nearly a century. Unlike almost any other play circulating in contemporary theatres, Lysistrata has outlived its classical origins in 411 BCE and continues to shock and delight audiences to this day. The play's "make love not war" message and bawdy humor render it endlessly appealing to college campuses, activist groups, and community theatres - so much so that none of Aristophanes' plays are performed in the West as frequently as Lysistrata. Starting with the play's first mainstream production in the U.S. in 1930, Emily B. Klein explores the varied iterations of Lysistrata that have graced the American stage, page, and screen since the Great Depression. These include the Federal Theatre's 1936 Negro Repertory production, the 1955 movie musical The Second Greatest Sex and Spiderwoman Theater's openly political Lysistrata Numbah!, as well as Douglas Carter Beane's Broadway musical, Lysistrata Jones, and the international Lysistrata Project protests, which updated the classic in the contemporary context of the Iraq War.
