Generation gaps, class warfare, xenophobia, apathy, and backroom politics all rise to the surface as the lawcourt descends into chaos. The result a mess that perhaps even the goddess Athena herself is powerless to fix.<br /> <br /> WARNING: <br /> With more than a few winks and nudges at Canada's own political dysfunction, Hubris in Athens is a ribald, satir<span class="text_exposed_show">ical story of democracy and justice that may induce laughter, rage, and/or a desire to confront a broken political system with the most powerful force of all - change from below.<br /> <br /> Featuring the following readers (and maybe more):<br /> Julian Cervello<br /> Max Johnson<br /> Alex Judd<br /> Erin Sterling<br /> Brian Wrigley<br /> and Corin Wrigley<br /> <br /> Friday performance<br /> (additional talk-back afterwards for anyone interested)<br /> <br /> Saturday performance<br /> (electoral reform talk-back facilitated by Wendy Bergerud, head of Fair Vote Canada's Victoria chapter)<br /> <br /> <br /> Admission: $7</span></span></p>
