by Aristophanes
To support the general themes of Lysistrata in a comedic sense that is more relevant to society today, the costumes will be inspired by fruit. Fruits are essentially the uteri of plants. They house the seeds after reproduction has occurred and are often a means of attraction to help further reproduction. Many fruits are also phallic in nature. These points relate fruit back to the sexual themes of the play, but will make the costumes more appropriate for the modern audience.
