‘Girls in Crisis’: Final performance added in Melbourne after sold-out shows

·

The Greek Community of Melbourne’s (GCM) Creative Drama & Arts group has announced an additional and final performance of Girls in Crisis at Doncaster Playhouse this Sunday, Μay 18 at 2:30pm, following a series of completely sold-out shows.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Creative Drama & Arts group, founded by Katerina Poutachidou, marks a major milestone with this bold and compelling production.

Girls in Crisis explores the complexities of womanhood through a rich tapestry of dramatic excerpts, spanning from classical antiquity to contemporary theatre.

The production features scenes from Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and The Ecclesiastes, Christopher Durang’s Laughing Wild, Akis Dimos’ Destiny, Kostas Mouselas’ Ο Μπιντές, With Power from Kifissia by Dimitris Kehaidis and Eleni Khaviara, and Lena Kitsopoulou’s M.A.I.R.O.Y.L.A. – Frankenstein’s Diary.

Directed by Jeremy Artis, the talented ensemble—Ioanna Gagani, Athina Giannou, Pam Pollali, Maria Bakalidou, Niki Skouri, Efrosini Theodosiou, Eleni Baveli, Stella Katsarou, Kostas Stefanidis, and Syrmo Kapoutsi—delivers a powerful, thought-provoking performance.

The production examines societal expectations, personal freedom, identity, and the pressures placed upon women across different eras and cultures.

This additional performance offers one final opportunity for audiences to experience a dynamic and resonant work that has received an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response from the public.
