Description

Thursday 22 January at 2030 an additional performance to aid the struggle of the Palestinian people

Red Lanterns takes place in the Greek port community of Piraeus. The five main characters are prostitutes, working the sailors who come to town. As we see each lady on the job, the play reveals via flashback and monologue the circumstances that brought them to their current state in life. No effort is made to condemn or proselytize; the women are what they are, and that's that.
