We would like to inform you that the performances on Friday 30/7/2021 and Saturday 31/7/21 will start at 21:00 instead of 22:30 

A defeated antihero plays backgammon. Sophocles’ Ajax, an iconic personification of the frustrated male, is re-imagined in an outdoors snack bar, the decadent reflection of a country stuck in the past, while everything else around it has collapsed. A stellar cast of performers jointly compose a chorus about a transforming world and its ever-changing values. A play dedicated to the prototypical outsider, the socially isolated Ajax, who is doomed to extinction and faced with madness.

With English surtitles.

Greek surtitles on opening night.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, all performance dates are subject to change
