First I'd like to say that I'm really enjoying this play and I think everyone is doing a good job and while most of my feelings about this show are positive, I have to vent a little.
I really don't like the last scene. It bothers me that instead of tying things together with the main character, Lysistrata is put into the background and men drive the plot. I realize this is totally a flaw in the uber-patriarchal society of Aristophanes and not in our production of it, but I wish it weren't so.
Throughout the play there are really good examples of women standing up for themselves, taking a stand against war and gender inequality, practicing moderation, etc. (Calonice isn't the best example, but the point remains). At the end, the war is over, but it seems like all the progress made, as far as equality goes, is lost. I wish we could emphasize the final scene between the chorus leaders instead of the drunken song and dance number, (this should not be viewed as a critique on the actors...look who's talking) but we can't change the play.
I don't have any good ideas about what to do about this, I'm just venting. I'd be willing to talk more about it though. And perhaps I'm blowing this out of proportion, but the last scene makes me feel a little uneasy about the message we are portraying.
