Article on Jeff Teare’s new Lysistrata in The Hindu

The Ancient Greek satire, in which women withhold sex from their husbands in order to stop the war between Athens and Sparta, is a high-energy farce which retains its relevance to women’s role in politics today.

Set in modern-day Bangalore, the characters are ‘heightened versions of people you might meet at Koshy’s’, says Jeff.

The production runs for 2 1/2 weeks in December 2011 and opens Jagriti’s new Theatre Season.
