Libretto to Lysistrata and the war

.
This small book contains only the words from
``the opera "Lysistrata and the War" so that it can be
performed as an anti-war play, without the music.

. It's based on the ancient Greek play by
Aristophanes, updated to reflect on modern times and
modern wars -- first written when the U.S. president
was Lyndon Johnson, updated later to include
characters named "Richard Stillouse Noxious"
and "General Wantsmorewar," and later
still, "SonuvaBush."

. New updates can be made with only the
``satirical change of names of a few characters.

. Some of the music to the opera (written in a
``Mozart-like or classical style) can be partially
used, such as the overture, music at the act 2 change,
and the Finale (MP3 below) at the end of the play.
