GREAT theatre is A click away.
Drama
Four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, hang out, murder Marat, lose their heads and try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. What was a hopeful revolution for the people is now sinking into hyper violent hypocritical male rhetoric; however will the modern audience possibly relate?
This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world.
Streamers is a powerful, unflinching drama set in a 1960s Army barracks, where young soldiers await deployment to Vietnam. As racial tensions, identity struggles, and personal fears surface, the characters clash in a volatile mix of conflict and camaraderie.
A gripping examination of masculinity, violence, and the cost of war, Streamers is the final play in Rabe’s acclaimed Vietnam trilogy.
Performances will be held at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 31 South Duke Street, Lancaster
