National Theatre of Greece - Lydia Koniordou

The Persians
by Aeschylus

“The play relates an important moment in history not as a victory for the Greeks, but—in the tragic context in which Aeschylus places it—as a defeat for the Persians. […] The production retains the temporal and spatial distance that separates us from the historic events it relates, while employing contemporary codes of expression that reveal the similarities with today’s world.”
