What a carry on
What did we expect? The full title - "Germaine Greer's Lysistrata: The Sex Strike" - implies a radical recasting of Aristophanes. What we actually get is some mild textual tinkering and a determinedly jokey production that transforms the play from sharp moral satire into a genial Carry On Up The Acropolis.
