Anna Messariti invites to Radio National

Anna Messariti has been always a friend and a strong supporter of the Auto Da Fe  Theatre Company. We crossed paths and worked together on many occasions. Mostly in the recording studios of Radio National (ABC) in Sydney, where Anna produced and directed numerous Australian radio dramas/plays .
She also produced a series of documentaries on Cyprus, the home land of her Mother.
Here is Anna's invitation to her programs:

"Dear Friends, 
Between 2003-2007, I traveled to Cyprus often, as my mother was in the last years of her life. At the time I was working for the ABC and over those years I made 5 Audio Arts documentaries about Cyprus, covering its ancient and contemporary history. In a nutshell, over 36 centuries, Cyprus has enjoyed only 14 years of independence. The rest of the time, the small island was under occupation, because of its riches and strategic location in the Eastern Mediterranean.
This weekend and next, two of my programs are being replayed on ABC Radio National and will remain available online for sometime afterwards. The first is an abridged version of longer documentary called Aphrodite’s Tears – Crying for Kyrenia. It is about the 1974 invasion and the impact of displacement and is set at a time when the borders reopened in 2003 and people were able to return to their villages, towns and homes. The program in full will be available on the RN website.
Here is a link to the first program, which will be broadcast on Sunday 3 August at 10.05am and repeated on Friday 8 August at 2.00pm:

It will sit within a program called 360 Documentaries.
On Sunday 10 August at 1.00pm and Thursday 14 August at 1.00pm, another of my programs will be broadcast:
FAMAGUSTA Ammochostos – Hidden in the Sand It’s about a contemporary ghost city in Cyprus. You’ll find it on RN’s social history program, Hindsight and it will also remain online afterwards for some time, in case you can’t catch it on the radio. Here’s a link:

Both programs are very dear to me and I’d love you to listen and would welcome feedback. The latter has been remastered in the past week, so it is sounding pretty good. 

I’m sending some images as well, to give you a sense of where you are going. If you use social media, by all means spread the word.

Thank you and all the best,

Anna"
