THEATRE ARTIST SPEAK OUT AGAINST WAR
On Monday March 3rd over 900 readings of Aristophanes anti-war comedy Lysistrata will happen in nearly 40 different countries. Here in Perth many well-known local actors will mount our own reading, using an hilarious modern translation.
Lysistrata tells the story of women from opposing states who unite to end a war, using the only tactic available to them in ancient times: witholding sex with their husbands.
Today, faced with the prospect of massive loss of human life - both Iraqi and others - Lysistrata Project participants world-wide take a new tactic and add their voices to the mounting clamour of global anti-war protests.
The actors taking part in Perth are: Jay Walsh, Diana Warnock, Edgar Metcalfe, Samantha Murray, Olivia Hogan, Dawn Yates, Jane Pyper, Tara Daniel, Shauna Weeks, Elisa Ghisalberti, Michelle Baginski, Ingle Knight, John Aitken, Andy King, Colm O'Doherty, Michael Van Schoor, Jules Hutchison, Angelique Malcolm, Ann Adlem, Alice Dale, Eileen Colocott, Craig Williams, Michael Barlow, Noel Christian and Matthew Kiely.
Donations will be taken for WA Refugee Alliance, The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and other peace organisations. Please give generously so they can carry on their important work.
Come and enjoy this bawdy comedy and protest for peace at the same time. (It's not suitable for children!) Visit the website: www.LysistrataProject.com
