Marylebone theatre has organised an amazing afternoon of talks, poetry and discussion on Woman-Life-Freedom, a slogan taken from the Kurdish fighters and adopted to the women’s struggles in Iran who alongside men are engaged in a fierce fight to free themselves from religious fundamentalism which has plagued that beautiful country. Thanks to the talented artist, Freny, this event will take place on January 29 at the theatre at 2 pm. Come along and join us.
