Oscar

Cyprus : Oscar

The New Stage of THOC presents the play "Oscar" based on the work of the French-Belgian dramatist, novelist and fiction writer Eric Emmanuel Schmitt.

Oscar is a ten years old boy. Because his form of leukemia has not responded to treatment, he has been living in a French hospital for a very long time. His parents, who bring him gifts and surely love him, are uncomfortable during their infrequent visits. Dr. Dusseldorf and the nurses are kind, but indirect and distant in their communications with him. Because no one talks to him about his illness or what is likely to happen, he feels isolated, alone, and miserable.

When Mamie-Rose, a very elderly hospital "pink lady" (hospital volunteer) with an exotic past, enters Oscar's life, she brings honesty, warmth, and comfort to the lost child known as Bald Egg. Guided by this incredible person--a blunt-spoken, irreverent woman who touches him, kisses him, and tells him wondrous stories of her wrestling feats--the boy grows stronger.

Translation / Adaptation: Mimi Denisi
Director: Panagiotis Larkou
