- Scene I -Town of Athens at 2pm
- Why thank you for thy invitation Lysistrata. We would love to join you. We will stop over shortly. Let us finish our work for the day.#160;
- Good morning. I invited my neighbors to my home but no one can attend. Would you all like to come? For#160;If someone had invited them to a festival of Bacchos, say; or to Pan's shrine, or to Aphrodites over at Kolias- you couldn't get them though the streets, what with the drums and the dancing. But now not a woman in sight.
- Scene II- Home of Lysistrata
- I see this becoming an issue. A big issue. How will you make this work? What are all the men going to do? Lysistrata this is a crazy idea.
- I want to ask you all what you think about my idea. I want to bring about change in the town of Athens. The women and I are starting a few days of having nothing to do (our) husband (s) or my lover. Do you think it will work?
- Scene III- The Exit
- Oh Lysistrata that is no way to feel. Let me help you at once my dear.
- I cannot do anything right in this town. I am so sick of it. Wait here at once while I finish preparing the dinner.
- From left to right: Oedipus Rex, Earnest, Hamlet and Lysistrata meet up in the town of Athens while running errands. Lysistrata invites the men back to her home because her neighbors cannot attend.
- Scene IV-The Kitchen
- Oh Lysistrata. Do not cry at once. It is very painful for me to be forced to speak the truth. It is the first time in my life that I have ever been reduced to such a painful position, and I am really quite inexperienced in doing anything of the kind.
- I want someone to love me my dear Earnest. I cannot take all this any longer.
- Oedipus, Hamlet, Earnest, and Lysistrata gather on the floor in the dining room for a chat before dinner is served. Lysistrata explains that she wants to have her and the fellow women of the town to withhold sex from their husbands.

- Lysistrata exits the room annoyed at once. Earnest follows her to the kitchen to help comfort her and calm her down.
- Scene VI- The Murder Ending
- Oh my! Hamlet! What have you done!!
- Earnest and Lysistrata are chatting in the kitchen. Earnest tries to comfort her but he is inexperienced. Lysistrata begins to flirt with Earnest.
- With Earnest's compassion and Lysistrata's charm they have found their way into the bedroom. They begin flirting and Hamlet is hiding behind the curtain with a knife.
- Oedipus walks into the room to find Lysistrata and Earnest both stabbed to death by Hamlet. Hamlet was in love with Lysistrata and did not like Earnest flirtations.
