Very mediocre. Only 4 male characters enacting for all plays, and acting as women too. The setting is superb with the Acropolis in the back ground. Wish the play was more engaging.
Just the thing to round off our trip to Athens!

This is a must-see performance. The theater was right under the Parthenon…easy to find and in a lively neighborhood with plenty of dining options. My family and I really enjoyed it. You don’t need to be a Greek mythology buff to get the plots…it’s laid out as the performance rolls on…the actors were energetic, super talented….and the drama was super fun, educational, motivational and really entertaining.
Must do in Athens!

If you want to go to a broadway show, pay $500. This is low budget as the price reflects, but it’s a good value.
Well worth going to!

The experience was well organised. Everyone was friendly and the play was explained and acted out well. I enjoyed it because I was familiar with the stories but even my two friends who didn’t know any of the stories thought it was great fun. The best thing was the stunning backdrop of the the Acropolis lit up.
Unique and emotional experience. Must visit when in Athens.

Absolutely brilliant, mesmerising and awe inspiring production. With the lit Acropolis as background and Athens spread out below, you are taken on a emotional whirlwind through some of the greatest ancient Greek plays. The performances were world class and the production was extremely professional. This is a unique experience that should be high on your to do list when visiting Athens.
