MPYT Perform Lysistrata

Last updated: 24 November 2005

In November 2005 Mid Powys Youth Theatre are bringing a touch of Greek drama to Mid Wales as they perform Aristophanes' famous 'war of the sexes' comedy Lysistrata. Click through some photos from the production below and read some comments from the cast.

Led by Lysistrata, the women of Greece rise to end the 14 year war between Athens and Sparta by taking over the Acropolis - the home of the city treasury and the temple of Athena. The women make an oath. Until the war ends - no sex!

Hello, I was a young man with no purpose when MPYT kidnapped me from the Powys County Council canteen and changed my life completely. I was lucky enough to finally get back to the heartland to see their Autumn Production of Nicholas Nickleby last year, the first time Ive been able to do so since I left in 2001 on the heels of Antigone, and I am still proud to be a part of the history of one of the UK's most accomplished and still underrated Youth Theatres. Keep fighting the good fight MPYT.

Indeed we are no longer in the wyeside but have moved to The Pavilion, nr the dance centre in llandod. It's an amazing space especially for this years production of Nicholas Nickleby which i advise you all to come and see because it's a very gd show.

How come you are no longer going to be using Wyeside for your main production - where are you going to be next time?

I got involved in the youth theatre almost a year and a half ago, and since then i've been involved (directly and in-directly) with 5 different shows incluing Watership Down and Lysistrata. If theres one thing about MPYT... it keeps you on your toes

i have been to see all of the youth theatr show for the last 5 years. Mpyt has the most talented bunch of teenage actors i ahve ever seen and i advise everyone to go and see the show!!!!! The youth theatr tackle all sorts of issue and it has been a pleasure to know that whenever i ahve gone to a show i have left knowing that my money was well psnet goin to see that show, and if this show is anything like previous shows like the crucible, Fuente Ovejuna, mid summer nights dream, antigone or When sleeping dogs awake, then u r inline for laughs, cries and everything in betweens! good luck to you all and i cant wait to come and see the show!
