ANNOUNCING
A special performance of the play THE LADY OF BURMA at Soho Theatre to preview Saturday 6th October's International Day of Action in support of a Free Burma.

THE LADY OF BURMA
by Richard Shannon
with Liana Mau Tan Gould as Aung San Sui Kyi  
At Soho Theatre
21 Dean Street, London W1
On Friday 5th October at 7.45pm
Box office: 0870 4296883 (please reserve places in advance – pay-what-you-can donations to the Burma Campaign UK to be made on the door).

The inspirational true story of Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi is told in this compelling solo performance about the life of the only Nobel Peace Prize winner who is also a political prisoner. Despite being the democratically elected leader of the country, Burma's military junta have kept Suu Kyi under house arrest for over a decade.

This powerful performance has already been made sell-out appearances at the Edinburgh festival and the Old Vic in London. Regardless of what you know or think about Burmese politics, this show is an unmissable hymn to the power of the human spirit in the quest for freedom.

'Tells it all - and catches the pain and wry humour inside that tiny frame and strong, wise face.' The Times

'A clever, effective script that requires little in the way of prior knowledge of Burma to thoroughly entrance you.' Metro

'Rarely is a show so powerful.' **** The Independent

PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT THIS UNIQUE EVENT ON FRIDAY IN AID OF THE Burma Campaign UK.  Entrance is on a pay-what-you-can basis (suggested min. donation £5.00).

ALSO: PLEASE NOTE THAT SATURDAY 6TH OCTOBER HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION IN SUPPORT OF A FREE BURMA WORLDWIDE.  Full details of the London demonstration and march at 12 noon on Saturday and other events can be found at www.burmacampaign.org. uk or email demo@burmacampaign.org.uk for up-to-date information.

This event has been organised by the Burma Campaign UK in association with Louise Chantal.  The producers would like to thank all at Soho Theatre, James Seabright and all at Yellow Earth Theatre Company for their support.

EAST (East Asian Strategic Training) Scheme
 
Arts Council England: London is looking to develop practical and supportive relationships with East Asian artists and arts organisations at every level based in London and have commissioned Chinese Arts Centre to research this scheme.

The aim of the scheme is to assist East Asian artists in applying for Grants for the Arts and to provide an on-line database to promote their work.
A questionnaire has been developed allowing us to research the artists’ career needs. To complete the questionnaire go to http://www.eastonline.org/questionnaire.html.

If you are a London-based East Asian artist get involved and let your opinions be heard.
Please email Chinese Arts Centre with any questions or queries: artists@chinese-arts-centre.org

We are looking for more people interested in working on a voluntary basis to promote Yellow Earth and our initiatives in their communities.
