ABOUT
AMAZONS
AMAZONS is a moving,
passionate and strangely comic exploration of the issues surrounding
Women and Breast Cancer. It aims to educate and empower women as well
as raise general awareness of a disease that is threatening to reach
epidemic proportions that surpass those of a much more high-profile
disease AIDS.
This production
is not just about issues. It is the story of three ordinary women and
their extraordinary journey through pain and suffering, joy and triumph
as each of their lives is touched by Breast Cancer. Through these women,
Sirens explores the complexity of human reactions in the face of disease,
disfigurement and ultimately the reality of death. But AMAZONS is not
a play about death, it's a play celebrating life and the fighting spirit
of those ancient female warriors. It is a play not so much about illness,
but about healing, and healing not just for those that have the disease,
but for all of us. It is a story at once epic and intimate; a story
of courage and rage, tears and laughter, fear and survival. |
