WHY THIS PROJECT IS FOR YOU
LESBOS the Project was inspired by the drama in today’s rigid governments across the Globe
This is a unique opportunity to perform in a play with its professional cast in the vital roles of the Greek island, Lesbos Community.

OUTLINE
The play’s Director, Karen will already have worked (in Scotland) with the cast Actors - They will be ready to go onstage with you.

“But! What would I have to do!?” You might scream…
Let’s just say, our imaginary ‘Janet’ is coming along. She’s really curious. She is excited to take part in something which tackles how unequal things are for her and around the world.
hey will be ready to go onstage.
t was great to know that we wouldn’t have to fully remember every wee thing in just one day, as there were already professional actors who’d be ‘Lesbos community’, so, we would always have them to follow.
As the day went on and we saw all the scenes and just fitted into them, we all became more and more
involved and that feeling of being strong and having a voice began to really hit home. I felt stronger and
stronger not just about the play’s story but also about how we seem to be becoming less and less
powerful in our own lives and how much more unfair and selfish the world is getting.
I couldn’t believe that, by the end of the day, we had fully rehearsed all our scenes and felt truly ready!
I had only needed to use the quiet room at break times, so it was really useful and folk were checking in
with me … with everyone really.
Karen spoke with each of us privately to check how we were feeling about performing the next evening. I
said that I’d still love to but would like to give a final answer after tomorrow’s dressed rehearsal.
I did go back the next day, smiling, saying ‘Hi’ to new pals, nervous, but still determined to try. I wasn’t
sure if everything, noise, lights, demands, nerves would become too much, so it was great that I could
still have that choice.
All I can say is … “IT WAS ELECTRIC!” I did it! I felt it! I was there, taking control.
I didn’t manage on to one of the scenes as I was really overloaded! But, I was looked after, took time out,
quietly and made it back on for the big one!
I… we (all) laughed, cried, shouted, cheered and feel bloomin’ FABULOUS!
