The Seagull
National Theatre Live
Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) makes her West End debut in this 21st century retelling of Anton Chekhov’s tale of love and loneliness.
A young woman is desperate for fame and a way out. A young man is pining after the woman of his dreams. A successful writer longs for a sense of achievement. An actress wants to fight the changing of the times. In an isolated home in the countryside, dreams lie in tatters, hopes are dashed, and hearts broken. With nowhere left to turn, the only option is to turn on each other.
Following his critically acclaimed five-star production of Cyrano de Bergerac, Jamie Lloyd brings Anya Reiss’ adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s classic play to stage.
Filmed live in London’s West End with a cast including Tom Rhys Harries (White Lines), Daniel Monks (The Normal Heart), Sophie Wu (Fresh Meat) and Indira Varma (Game of Thrones).
With English and Greek subtitles.
Tickets: €12 / 8

Stories from the past, monuments and buildings that have been changing over the course of time, as well as a glance at the future of the Square. The Rialto becomes the protagonist, a theatre that has been shaping a cultural identity and constitutes a significant chapter in the history of the emblematic Heroes’ Square. In Greek.

Spanos and the Forty Dragos | Antilogos Theatre (5+)
In the Cypriot folk tale Spanos and the Forty Dragons, Spanos is the laughingstock of the village: a young boy who hasn’t grown a moustache yet. Until he decides to kill the forty dragons who cut off the water supply causing shortage to the village. Using his wits more than his physical strength, Spanos manages to trick the dragons and kill them all.
In this stage adaptation by Alexia Papalazarou, two young children, a Greek Cypriot and a Turkish Cypriot, grow up in the same neighbourhood, with only a strip of no man’s land dividing them.

In their sleep, the tale comes to life: will they manage to cooperate, beat the dragons and bring water back to the village?
