Eve Was Framed: A Comedy About Misogyny

Eve Was Framed, a bold, multimedia one-woman show that uses satire and social commentary to explore the persistence of misogyny in contemporary culture will be staged at the Red Bicycle Bistro and Sushi on Friday, October 21, at 8:30 p.m.

Written and performed by Lynann Politte, her poignant perspective draws from current events, her personal experiences, and historical, cultural, and social acts against women. Creating a clever episodic narrative, Politte weaves her way through familiar scenarios, engaging the audience in a powerful fusion of physical theater, storytelling, monologues, and poetry in this multi-media performance piece.

Politte, based on Vashon Island, is a producer, feminist social commentator, and performance artist. This is her first original piece, which was selected as part of Vashon Allied Arts New Works Series in 2009. Staged to sold-out audiences, Eve Was Framed received standing ovations and rave reviews from both women and men. "The fight for women’s equality has made great strides, but Lynann Politte shows us – with a razor wit and in no uncertain terms – that the battle for a truly equitable life is still very much worth waging.

Tickets are available at Books by the Way, Vashon Bookstore, and at the door though it is expected to sell out in advance, sliding scale $15-$25. Material is for 16 years and older. As a way of thanking the Red Bicycle for their support of this fundraiser, we also ask that the audience enjoy the delightful food and drinks available, including the finest sushi on Vashon.

"How powerful to hear the truth spoken in such clear and funny way! "Eve was Framed" empowers men and women to reframe their assumptions and views once and for all."

This is a benefit for the DoVE Project, the new Vashon anti-domestic violence program. The DoVE Project, a program of Vashon Youth and Family Services, is committed to assisting DV survivors in utilizing existing resources. Through the DoVE Project a survivor can gain access to a support-group, get help with legal procedures and speak to an advocate.
