Biloxi Blues is a semi-autobiographical play by Neil Simon, following Eugene Morris Jerome as he undergoes military training in Biloxi, Mississippi during World War II.

Aristophanes' Lysistrata is a classic example of ancient Greek comedy, known for its satirical portrayal of the Peloponnesian War and its exploration of gender roles. The play centers on Lysistrata, a woman who rallies other Athenian women to withhold sexual relations from their husbands as a means of ending the war. Lysistrata's wit, her determination, and her unconventional approach to conflict resolution make her a memorable and powerful character. The play's humor is often bawdy and irreverent, reflecting the social and political climate of ancient Athens. Lysistrata's enduring popularity stems from its clever satire, its memorable characters, and its exploration of timeless themes of war, peace, and gender dynamics.
