No sex, they told their mates, until the men ended the Peloponnesian War. That's the subject of Aristophanes' ancient Greek comedy "Lysistrata." On Monday, in cities around the world, the story will be retold in a global protest to the impending war with Iraq. More than 800 public readings of "Lysistrata" are scheduled in 49 countries and scores of communities across the United States. Lysistrata Project sites in the Bay Area include San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Los Altos Hills and Sacred Heart Prep in Atherton. This "theatrical act of dissent" was first proposed in New York early this year. New readings continue to swell the Web site list (<http://www.lysistrataproject.com>). The Bay Area's most ambitious undertaking is slated for the Berkeley Repertory Roda Theatre at 6:30 and 9 p.m. Monday. Presented by Upon These Boards, the reading will feature a cast of 100 actors and the Sons & Daughters of Orpheus, a rhythm and drum ensemble. Cast members include such prominent local actors as Marco Barricelli, Hector Correa, Lorri Holt, Barbara Oliver and JoAnne Winter. The "Lysistrata" reading isn't the only mass art protest planned. Today, Rock Out Against War asks for artists and musicians to perform simultaneously from 1 to 2 p.m. Locations can be anywhere, private or public.
