Kicking off its run at the Argolic Theater—as part of the Athens Epidaurus Festival—on July 17 and 18, Euripides’ “Alcestis,” a National Theatre of Greece production adapted and directed by Dimitris Karantzas, successfully concluded its run on September 13 at the open-air theater “School of Athens—Irene Papas.”
With the actors arranged in a choreographed formation on a stage set dominated by metal (Konstantinos Skourletis), the production highlighted in the most striking way both the way in which human …More
