A NIGHT AT EPIDAURUS

Original concept, Director: Nikos Karathanos

From 16 February 2023

Fresh from a splendid performance, splendid actors, ravenous with hunger, descend on a legendary taverna, where, full of self-congratulation, they mix with the staff. There, amidst steaks, lies and sweat, they lay into one another in scenes of utter mayhem that lead them to the Underworld with the taste of cheese pie still in their mouths.

A night-time farce about the carefree, burnt-out summers of our life in Epidaurus, a metaphysical musical about the anticipation of the trip there and the buzz on the way home. An outrageous comedy about the tragedy occurring not in the theatre, but out there, in real life.  A delirious musical about dizzying hubris, poking fun at Greece, and our arrogance and insignificance.
