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?

I think it looks great, and demonstrates the story well, although it might give people wrong ideas about what the story is, but then they can learn something.

And I have to say that I hate you for having a stomach that looks that good.

Yeah... I know...

I think the basic idea we're trying to convey here is that the military might of greece are just pawns in the face of the 'power' women hold in the Lysistrata. And it's a pretty picture! :).

The caption under the title will probably be (forgive the crappy literal translation at this stage):

"Let war concern only women!' (which will probably turn into 'War should be women's business' or something a bit less clumsy).

Ideally I'd have had toy soldiers throwing down their weapons with clear, and with clear hard-ons. I don't know where I'd find miniatures quite like that though... More's the pity really :).
