Inspired by the ancient
Greek anti-war comedy Lysistrata, The Boycott tells the
story of Kathryn Blume, a woman trying to fight global warming and save
the world—by telling the story of Lyssa Stratton, the First Lady of the
United States launching a national sex strike to fight global warming and
save the world. As The Boycott progresses, the story of Kathryn, trying to
keep her emotional head above the waters of gloom and doom and create a
piece of theater which will make a difference, interweaves with the story
of Lyssa, who has to take on her indifferent husband, a hostile press, and
a romantic rival who’s not only in bed with the President, but with the
darkest powers of the oil industry. Aided by her impassioned daughter, a
high tech Secret Service agent, and a plucky Brazilian tree frog she meets
on the Astral Plane, Lyssa bumps and lurches her way into an unexpected,
wildly comic, and ultimately successful campaign. |
