Lysistrata - Reading for Peace
Fri, 14 Feb 2003, 04:02 pmVolunteers needed for LYSISTRATA PROJECT
On 03/03/03 theatre artists world-wide will speak out for peace by performing readings of the ancient Greek anti-war comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes. Many citizens of the world do not support the war on Iraq. We want to say that loud and clear on 3rd March. Lysistrata Project is giving new meaning to the phrase “THINK GLOBALLY and ACT LOCALLY”
We will be using the version 'Aristopanes Lysistrata: A woman's translation by Drue Robinson Hagen.
Around the world? Really?
Yes! As of today there are nearly 400 readings of Lysistrata planned in 31 countries around the world. For details please see website : www.LysistrataProject.com.
What can you do to be part of it?

COME TO A MEETING ON MONDAY 17TH FEB AT 7PM
AT THE RECHABITES HALL, 224 WILLIAM STREET, NORTHBRIDGE

And I'm sure there's loads more to do...!
PLEASE COME ALONG IF YOU CAN HELP
Thanks

Of course the other possibility is the Classics Department at UWA.
I know that they do have a locally translated version, because it was the one we performed there a few years ago.
I love this play, and if it wasn't for the fact that the 3rd March is the final Dress/Tech for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at Roleystone Theatre
[Season runs 7, 8, 12, 14, 15 March - Bookings 9490 1410 - sorry about the gratuitous plug]
I would be there with bells on.
If you aren't doing anything on 3rd March, I strongly urge you to go, if not to support the aims of the Lysistrata Project then at least to experience one of the greatest comedies EVER written.
