Predictable much?

Lysistrata started with a very interesting idea, but I found that the plot didn't provide many surprises. There was definitely a lack of twists and turns; obviously the women would agree to the abstinence and eventually win. What made me like the play was not the story or even the original idea (though I found it very interesting) but the way the story was treated. The language, especially the puns, is what made the story fun to read, and I think the editor did a great job making this ancient story entertaining to present audiences. I guess this goes to show that the storyline is not nearly as important as the treatment of the original idea, or interpretation by the editor/director/reader.
