Mussolini's Mistresses

March 2 at 7.30pm: HKD 250 March 3 and 4 at 7.30pm: HKD 280
By Clare Stearns

The Godfather of Fascism, Benito Mussolini, was not just a notorious dictator much admired by Hitler, but also, unlikely as it seems, one of the world's greatest lovers. Women of all shapes, sizes and ages fell prey to his sexual magnetism. He boasted that he had as many as twelve mistresses at any given time.

Mussolini's Mistresses focuses on the Duce's relationships with the four women who were most influential to him personally as well as politically.
Margherita the aristocrat, who taught him how to woe the intellectual elites; Ida, who sold her business to fund his political career; Rachele, who bore him five children; and Clara, who blindly followed him to her own death.

Presented by Aurora Theatre and Perilous Mouths Entertainment.

Silent Sky

October 10 through 13 at 8pm. October 14 at 7pm.
By Lauren Gunderson

When Henrietta Leavitt begins work a the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn't allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women "computers," charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in "girl hour" and has no time for the women's probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman's place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women's ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

"A startling, entertaining true story of a brilliant, history-making woman- hitherto unknown to many of us"
