Omniprop Productions is performing a new translation of Aristophanes' most famous comedy, Lysistrata
Omniprop Productions is performing a new translation of Aristophanes' most famous and hilarious comedy, Lysistrata, as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival (24/9/08-5/10/08).
From Wikipedia:
---------------
Led by the title character, Lysistrata, the story's female characters barricade the public funds building and withhold sex from their husbands to end the Peloponnesian War and secure peace. In doing so, Lysistrata engages the support of women from Sparta, Boeotia, and Corinth. All of the other women are first against Lysistrata's suggestion to withhold sex. Finally, they agree to swearing an oath of allegiance by drinking wine from a phallic shaped flask.
Omniprop is dedicated to performing the ancient theater of Greece and Rome. Believing that ancient theater has never been eclipsed, we use our own translations of these classics and strive to give the general public access to extraordinary material they might not otherwise experience.
We will be casting for all roles. There are numerous parts for men and women of all ages. Previous experience not mandatory. All decisions will be based on auditions. Auditions are; 29/7 & 31/7 @6-8pm. 1/8 11am-4pm and 3/8 1pm-4pm. Please email shamo@omniprop.org with preferred time if interested. This is an unpaid job however all successful participants will receive immortal glory.
A reading of the play, it's quite short, is suggested before auditions. The Penguin translation is quite good otherwise you can read it online when you apply.
