Theatre company Theatrical Niche is touring a new adaptation of Aristophanes’ comedy Lysistrata.
Using a contemporary text, this is a multi-disciplinary production using physical comedy, puppetry and mask adapted by Venetia Twigg and directed by Alice Sillett.

- Charlton Park, Canterbury
- Kentwell Hall, Sudbury
- Stamford Arts Centre, Lincolnshire
- New Wimbledon Studio, London
- Stantonbury Theatre, Milton Keynes
- Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells
