Following the success of the play Girls in the Shadow, the Creative Drama & Arts Centre of the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) passionately returns to Melbourne’s cultural scene with the original comedy Girls in Crisis, directed by Jeremy Artis, for four unforgettable nights at Doncaster Playhouse on May 10, 11, 17, and 18.
Following a similar theme, Girls in Crisis explores aspects of the female identity, shaped through the roles and relationships that define a woman’s life. It is an original montage of scenes from well-known theatrical works, ranging from ancient Greek comedy to the theatre of the absurd and contemporary Greek playwriting.
Girls in crisis. Women who judge and are being judged – constantly and for everything. They flirt with madness, seek happiness, rebel and dream, fall in love, conspire, get anxious, and become resilient. They are victims at the same time as perpetrators in a society in crisis. An existential crisis, a crisis in relationships, roles, power, and a crisis of ideas and values.
You are invited to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the adult group of the GCM’s Creative Drama & Arts Centre at the performance of “Girls in Crisis.”
So, Girls in Crisis it is.
