Stoa Theater, Thanassis Papageorgiou
Medea by Bost
This is a famous comedy by Bost (1918-1995), a Greek political cartoonist, playwright, lyricist and painter. When it was first staged, Medea was watched by 60,000 people throughout Greece – an astounding number for a play at that time. Twenty years after Bost’s death, that emblematic performance is being revived and features the same cast. In the role of Medea, the renowned Leda Protopsalti. Also appearing are Thanassis Papageorgiou, Pavlos Orkopoulos, Niki Hadzidou, Evdokia Vouvatzi, Eva Kaminari and a group of younger actors.
Bost’s biting humour and bitter satire seem especially topical today. “His sense of humour, his sarcasm and his satirist’s scalpel still do a good job. Every locus of culture makes it easier for us to overcome this dark era which we have been condemned to live in,” the Stoa Theatre emphatically declares in the show’s programme.
