Death's Waiting Room Fundraiser...

My Friend Christian is the publicist for this upcoming play and as It's also having a fundraising performance this Wednesday night for people living with HIV and Aids I urge all you Sydney-siders to go and see it if your up for a good serving of dark and twisted humour.

Dancing Giant Productions in association with SX news will be hosting a special charity fundraiserperformance of "Death's Waiting Room" on Wednesday, October 19th at PACT Theatre, 107 Railway Pde,Erskineville (1 min walk from Erskineville Station).

It's a dark comedy for mature audiences - a little bit circus, a little bit musical theatre, with acast of circus freaks and a chorus of filthy whores, all who cower under the reign of theiriron-fisted ringmaster.

'When it comes down to it though they're not that strange after all, just a mermaid, a ballerina or a lonely man - simple, fairly normal and possibly beautiful. If only they could stop fucking each other.' Revolver, Feb 25 2002.

All tickets that evening will be sold at the adult price of $25 with 40% of box office funds raisedfrom the evening being donated to People Living With HIV/AIDS (NSW), a non-profit communityorganisation representing the interests of HIV positive people in the state."We're thrilled to be able to help out the community in this way, " says Death's Waiting Room'sDirector Danielle Harvey. "The arts are a reflection of life, an extension of it, and this feelslike a natural coupling; one community group helping another."Glenn Flanagan - Senior Project Officer for 'People Living with HIV/AIDS (NSW)' - is veryappreciative for the fundraising opportunity. "We support HIV positive people with information sothey can lead fulfilling and satisfying lives, so it goes without saying how important thisfundraiser is."The money raised at this event will help PLWHA (NSW) fund projects which aren't funded throughgovernment grants, such as their monthly support group for newly diagnosed HIV positive men - verynoble and valuable work that is changing the lives of many.

Hi Daveyboy,
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment, I just wanted to let you know though that "Death's waiting room" is in no way reference to people who have HIV or Aids.
The play does not have any HIV positive characters or even reference to it.
The company that was producing the show got in contact with the Aids Charity as they wanted to put on a charity performance for them and thats where the connection to people who are HIV positive lies.
Thanks again and take care
Nick
