DEVIL WHORE OF TEMPTATION

Nicholas Rowe Customs within any culture are adopted by it's members to best deal with whatever concerns are currently relevant. The circumstances of the world are transient however, and the challenges presented continually alter. Often, the ritual becomes redundant as the problem no longer exists, or as less restrictive or painful alternatives are discovered. This work does not intend to offend the Holy Koran which is recognised as greatly contributing to the emancipation of women throughout history. The perpetuation of certain customs in the name of Fundamentalism, that owe cause to fear, ignorance and the mindless pursuit of power, have a devastating impact upon their victims across the Islamic world. I would like to acknowledge and thank the cast for their input into the development

of this piece.

UTI ON AND ADVICE

Remember, in case of emergency, the greatest danger lies in being crushed: therefore, BE CALM, stand up, QUIETLY WALK to and leave by the nearest door. DO NOT PUSH any person in front of you. Escape doors are all unlocked and the whole audience can quietly leave in less than five minutes. Patrons are reminded that smoking and drinking are not permitted in the theatre during the performance. Use of audio and/or video equipment and the taking of photographs is prohibited.
