Alice in Plunderland.
A group of actors
and celebrities will presented
"Alice in Plunderland:
the Mad Hatter's Tea Party"
outside the Dáil
at 12 noon on Easter Monday.
The half-hour event was
in protest against the
plunder of war booty in
the form of multi-billion
dollar reconstruction
contracts awarded to companies
close to the Bush administration
following the onslaught
of death and destruction
wrought on the Iraqi people.
This will be a tea-party
with a difference:
- the Mad Hatter bears
an uncanny resemblance
to Uncle Sam;
- the Mad March Hare
looks incredibly like
Tony Blair;
- Bertie Dormouse sits
in slumber, waking only
to agree with everyone;
- the cake which is
carved up is in the
shape of Iraq;
- and instead of a
teapot, an oilcan is
passed around for consumption.
This allegory will be
organised by Afri to highlight
the plunder of Iraq, which
has taken place and is
now about to enter a new
phase. The new phase sees
Oil Companies and Construction
Companies rub their hands
at the prospect of making
millions of dollars in
profit from the task of
rebuilding all that was
destroyed by cluster-bombs,
MOAB bombs and other weapons
of mass destruction. Almost
all the companies are
not only from the US but
are linked to Bush's Republican
Party. Britain, having
made a major contribution
to the plunder will also
benefit and Bertie's contribution
of Shannon Airport to
the prosecution of the
war merits him a shameful
place at the Mad Hatters
Tea Party in Plunderland.
Alice (all us) can only
look on in horrified shock.
Actors and celebrities
taking part will include
Michael McElhatton, creator
of Paths to Freedom and
Fergus' Wedding, actor
and playwright Donal O'Kelly,
actress and TV scriptwriter
Sorcha Fox and other guests.
