（ＣＮＮ） 米国などによるイラク攻撃に反対して３日、５９カ国１００４カ所で古代ギリシャの反戦劇「女の平和」が一斉に朗読された。ニューヨーク在住の女優２人の呼びかけに賛同して、日本で３日夜、東京や名古屋で複数団体が朗読したのをはじめ、オセアニア、アジア、東欧、中東、欧州、北南米で次々と、反戦劇の朗読が続いた。主催者によると、反戦のために世界各地で一斉に反戦劇が朗読されるのは初めてという。
古代ギリシャの劇作家アリストパネスによる反戦喜劇「女の平和（リュシストラテ）」を題材に、ニューヨークの女優キャサリン・ブルームさんとシャロン・バワーさんは今年１月、平和団体「ライシストラタ・プロジェクト」を立ち上げ、ウエブサイトや電子メールで各国の演劇関係者に参加を呼びかけた。

Dispatch from the UK
Women urged to boycott sex over Iraq war
【英国発――女たちが対イラク戦争反対でセックス・ボイコットを提唱】Almost 2,500 years ago, Aristophanes laid out the blueprint in Lysistrata, in which the women of Greece stopped having sex with their men to end war. Now a group in Denmark called The Lysistrata Project is urging contemporary women -- and especially the wives of George Bush and Tony Blair -- to stop having sex with their husbands to stop the impending violence in Iraq. The organization is hoping for 1,000 readings of the play in 56 countries, with fund raising efforts supporting peace efforts and humanitarian aid. Read the full BBC story:

【反戦にむけたセックス・ボイコットが提唱されている】Women opposed to the war with Iraq have been urged to withhold sexual favours from their partners if the menfolk are pro-war.
-----------------------------------------------------------
写真：That's close enough, say the campaigners
-----------------------------------------------------------On Monday thousands of actresses all over the world are taking part in a reading of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata, as part of a protest against the war.
In the play, penned by Aristophanes in 415BC, a group of Greek women, fed up with their warmongering husbands, go on a sex strike in a bid to end the endless conflicts.
Eventually the menfolk cave in and agree to a truce.
The Danish group have taken the interpretation quite literally and are encouraging women to slap on their chastity belts if their men are pro-war.
●●Bawdy play
The Lysistrata Project is planning around a thousand readings of Aristophanes' bawdy play in 56 countries.
Readings will raise money for charities working for peace and humanitarian aid in the Middle East and elsewhere.
In Denmark several of the country's leading actresses are at the forefront of the protest.
Actress Anne-Marie Helger told BBC News Online: "Mrs Blair, Mrs Bush and (the wife of the Danish PM) Mrs Rasmussen should stay out of their husbands' beds until they call their dogs off."

「Basically we are saying No Peace, No Sex. 」
――Rhea Leman, director
-----------------------------------------------------------Some of Denmark's most famous TV and stage actresses, including Andrea Vagn Jensen, Lone Hertz, Lykke Nielsen and Trine Appel, are staging a production on Monday night of Aristophanes' Greek comedy Lysistrata.
●●Worldwide protest
Rhea Leman, an American theatre director who is directing Monday's play in Christianhavn near Copenhagen, said: "Basically we are saying No Peace, No Sex."
Ms Leman told BBC News Online: "The essence of the play is that if men go to war women should not go to bed with them. Until these men stop the war they will not get any sex."
She said: "What makes the play a comedy is that it is as hard for the women to go without sex as it is for the men. But they stick the strike out as a matter of principle."
Mark Greene, one of the world co-ordinators of the Lysistrata Project, said: "Each country and each group of performers is free to interpret the play in different ways.
"This is the first time I have heard of anyone actually suggesting a sex boycott, but then that's how these things start.
"We are limiting our advice on a sex boycott to the First Lady and Mrs Hussein (sic)," he quipped.
