Yup, this is what we do with our long weekends in this house...

As many of you know, Omniprop Productions will be performing Aristophanes Lysistrata at the Melbourne Fringe Festival later this year. It will be represented in the Fringe Guide by this image:



The question is, should we also use this image for the poster? So far we think yes if only because we can't be arsed doing that much work on it again. We though we should get some quick opinions from others, so I said I'd ask the internet.

Internet? Think this would make a good poster?

Yeah, it works and it suits the play's plot line.

Cool, I wasn't sure if the point came across or if the soldiers were properly distinguishable as soldiers. It's hard to tell after thinking about it and staring at it for ages. :-)

We were thinking of painting a map of Greece on the stomach to ram home the point, but it would probably complicate the shot too much visually. Plus neither of us can draw.

Naw, I'd say no map. A bit of overkill. For the people that don't know the story of Lysistrata, they'll learn from any write ups on it or the play itself. But the art does get the basic plot of the story across.
