Aristophanes’ ancient Greek high comedy masterpiece 'Lysistrata' (masterfully adapted by Gilbert Seldes) permanently altered the commercial landscape during its historic 1930 premiere at the Forty-Fourth Street Theatre, running for an astonishing 252 performances under the banner of the Philadelphia Theatre Association. The fast-paced farcical plot follows the women of Greece who orchestrate a frantic, high-stakes domestic strike and tactical military blockades to force their husbands to vote for an end to the Peloponnesian War. Directed by Herbert Blau.
