Iranian revolutionary Sussan, a member of the March 8 Women's Organization (Iran-Afghanistan), who was imprisoned and tortured for her opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran in the early 1980s, will talk about International Women's Day actions this weekend, including a march in Westwood, in support of the struggle against the women-hating Islamic regimes and the US empire.
First performed in 1928, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's "Threepenny Opera" was a masterpiece of revolutionary theater mocking the bourgeois political movement of pre-Hitler Germany. Brecht's brittle, sardonic tale of beggars, thieves and prostitutes was a fierce social and political critique, and Weill's innovative score captured perfectly the ironic tone of the lyrics. Jeff Griggs and Shannon Warne, Mack and Polly in the show, will join us live in-studio.
