The Boycott and Lysistrata

The Boycott was a great performance and although it was not exactly like Lysistrata, it definitely displayed many of the same themes and concepts. It was what it was suppose to be, a modern-day version of Lysistrata. It applied an issue that we have today, which is global warming as opposed to stopping a war, although the concept of stopping a war could definitely have been applied to a modern-day lysistrata because of the fact that we in the united states are in a war right now. There are two things that I found very different and unique about The Boycott compared to Lysistrata.
In The Boycott, Lisa Stratton (playing the part of Lysistrata) had a little frog friend that motivated her her keep on with the boycott she was holding, while Lysistrat had no one to motivate her, except herself. Lysistrata herself, was the motivater for everyone. Also, Lisa Stratton elded up being the one who broke the Boycott oath she created. She ended up having sex with her husband, however, things still ended up being improved. I believe that Lisa Stratton should not be portrayed as necessarily weaker than Lysistrata for not abstaining. I would consider her more realistic somewhat, not to say that women are weaker necessarily than in the past, however, in her situation, Lisa Stratton did what she could and did not make as much of a fool out of herself as one would think.
