at the Manny Fried Playhouse
 for
our eight-annual May Day Staged Reading
DAYS OF THE COMMUNE
by Bertolt Brecht
One Night Only!
In Celebration of May Day 2009
ADMISSION: Donation Only!
For the eighth annual installment of Subversive
Theatre's May Day Staged Reading Series, we are proud to present Bertolt Brecht's
impassioned docu-drama DAYS OF THE COMMUNE. The last play Brecht
wrote in his lifetime, this historical drama tells the story of the Paris
Commune of 1871 -- as the French Government abandons the people of Paris to be
slaughtered by advancing German Forces, the people rise up to take direct
control of their city for the first time in history!
This colossal moment in history has provided
inspiration for activist ever since and is a very fitting addition to our
annual commemoration of May Day.
This one-night-only performance is at Subversive Theatre's newly established performance venue, "The
Manny Fried Playhouse" on the third floor of North Buffalo's
Great Arrow Building at 255 Great Arrow Avenue.
Like all Subversive Theatre productions, admission
for this show is free with donations gratefully accepted before, during, and
after the performance. Reservations are not available, seating is on a
first-come-first-served basis with doors opening one half hour prior to the performance.
For more information, give Subversive Theatre a call
at 716-408-0499.
