Theatre Diadromi – Petros Filippidis

Peace by Aristophanes

Have the gods abandoned Greece?
 
The Peloponnesian War has been raging for ten years, and the desperation and despondency are palpable. Trygaeus of Athens, a shrewd man, decides to take matters in his own hands: climbing astride a huge beetle, he flies up to the heavens for a word with Zeus.
 
Written in 421 BC, Peace, a paean to rural life in which Aristophanes condemns war and parodies the theatre of his own era, is as relevant today as it ever was.
 
Directing at Epidaurus for the first time, the sparkling comic actor, Petros Filippidis, plays the lead role amidst a cast of celebrated actors.
