National Theatre of Greece – Michail Marmarinos

Herakles by Euripides


Herakles


“…to civilize the world, he says!”
(Amphitryon, Prologue, verse 20)
 
“Herakles seems to be of the last Greek generation – a long, long time ago – who believed in and fought for Ideas. To be betrayed in the end by friends and enemies alike. And it is with the absolute taste of betrayal on his lips that he is led to disaster. And then he will attempt death.”
 
Michail Marmarinos
 
Herakles is a staggering work, and one of Euripides’ least-performed plays. Which only serves to intensify the anticipation in advance of this production, only the second in the history of the National Theatre of Greece, directed by Michail Marmarinos.
