Samia

The revival of the 1993 production that worthily won the title of one of the best productions in the history of the Epidavros Festival.

Samia is one of the four surviving works of the ancient writer of New Comedy Menander. Through a series of misunderstandings, the piece addresses the tangles created between two families by an illegitimate child. The performance takes place in Athens in the beginning of the 20th century, and the combination of the original translation of the poet Yiannis Varveris, the music and dance offer a glittering spectacle.
