National Theatre of Greece- Dimiter Gotscheff
Aeschylus, The Persians
“Alas! In truth a vast sea of troubles has burst upon the Persians ”…
Eight years after the battle of Salamis (480 BC), Aeschylus (a soldier as well as a poet) brings to life the destruction of the Persian armada – the hubris of powerful men and its consequences – and lauds democratic Athens through mourning its fallen heroes.
The National Theatre of Greece has invited one of Germany’s leading men of the theatre – the Bulgarian-born Dimiter Gotscheff, whose Ivanov Athens Festival audiences will remember from 2007 – to direct The Persians with a hand-picked Greek cast.
