description: The Common Chorus is set at Greenham in the days when the Women's Peace Camp was at its most active. The Greenham Women play for the edification of the missile-base guards the Lysistrata of Aristophanes, a play about war and peace, and the relationship between the sexes. The Women’s sense of nuclear extinction makes them feel responsible for the past and the future, which gives the play a sense of movement from modern Britain to Ancient Greece and back again. This volume contains an introduction by Tony Harrison. (from the back cover)
