This production accentuated the ridiculous nature of gender roles. Audience members could choose the buy their ticket as either a ‘Man’ or a ‘Woman’. Audience members who chose to come as a ‘man’ were asked to arm wrestle a greeter to prove they are strong enough to be a man. Those who came as a ‘woman’ were given a lipstick and asked to put it on to look presentable. They had to then be escorted to a further away entrance; paralleling how women often have to work twice as hard to get to where a man is. The audience members were set in separate banks of seats where certain parts of the play were played specifically for them. The cast contained both male and female identified actors playing ‘men’ and ‘women’. The actors playing Lysistrata and the Magistrate would swap roles every other night to further the gender play. The play was set in the 1950’s pulling on pop art style to create a cartoonish world. The goal here was to really emphasize the ridiculous nature of the role society asks us all to play.
