At 40ish, she is super rich, smart and loyal to her friends, has a great sense of humour, and passionately in love with her husband Cleon. She is also desperate to have a child because, like so many women of her time, she is barren. So desperate is she to be a mother that she has bought an ancient Temple, an authentic invocation and is going to try and call the Goddess Gaia to her aid. It will not go according to plan.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>Cassandra is Lysistrata’s best friend. At 30ish, Cassie is the only one who sees the deterioration of Mother Earth and wants to do something about it. She is constantly ignored which makes her a little paranoid. She is in love with her new partner Pietra but refuses to bring a child into this mad, mad world.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>Pandora is Lysistrata’s neice. At 20ish, Pandora has had a cloistered upbringing to protect her innocense and purity, two virtues she wants to ditch as quickly as possible. She’s lively, physical and interested in being lively with Theo.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>Cleon is Lysistrata’s husband. At 40ish, Cleon is, like his wife and business partner, super rich and super smart and somewhat boyish. He is bored being a master if industry. He wants to go into politics. He wants to dispense with the dullness of democracy and become a tyrant. He thinks the weather can be managed and has made a fortune managing it.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>Pietra Caspār Bentonovitch is Cassandra’s new husband and Cleon’s military attaché. At 30ish, Pietra is a woman who self-identifies as a man who loves women and specifically Cassandra who is his/her first love. This creates a conflict because Pietra is also fiercely loyal to Cleon.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>Theodoros (Thēo) is Pandora’s suitor and Cleon’s executive assistant. At 20ish, Theo is smart, handsome and will do anything to get ahead. He initially sees Pandora as a means to an end (becoming Cleon’s nephew) but will discover that Pandora puts an end to his means.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>G is a male slave who was formerly a cabaret performer. He could be 40. He could be 60. He’s definitely angry about his plight and ready to sing about it.</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><br>H is a female slave and partner to G.
