Dear friends of peace,

A play for 'Peace on War' Theatrical Forum will run form May 30 to June 16. It's inspired by three of Shakespeare's plays. Come and re-discover what Shakespeare had to say about power, ambition, crime and punishment - in short, the price and reality of war. Please also help us spread the word and forward the following to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks and hope to see you there!

---- 3 KINGS AND THEIR DEAD ---

What happens when three of Shakespeare's most ruthless kings face their victims?

'3 KINGS AND THEIR DEAD' is an imaginative reworking of scenes from three of Shakespeare's plays, in which Macbeth is stalked by Banquo; Claudius has to confront his brother, Hamlet's father; and Richard III gets haunted by all whom he has sent from this world.

Ambition. Treachery. Destruction. There always seem to be glamour and glory, until death and fear reveal war's true nature. Yet it is perhaps the ultimate justice when the perpetrator must answer to those whom he has victimized. This play strips the treason bare and shows the rhetoric for what it is. It's more timely than ever to rediscover what Shakespeare had to say about how the disregard of others' lives and welfare leads to our own demise.

Presented by Are the Fish Happy? Theatre, in association with The Personal Theatre Project, this is part of the 'Peace on War'
Grassroots Theatrical Forum. A 'talkback' session with the director, playwrights and actors will follow each performance.
