The Whore from Ohio
The central stage of ETHAL presents - for the first time in Greek language - the masterpiece of Hanoch Levin "The Whore from Ohio", directed by Panagiotis Larkou.
The Whore from Ohio: A fable of an old tramp named Hoibitter, who has dreamed all his life about an unattainable high-class prostitute in America. As his 70th birthday approaches, he seeks to give himself a birthday present that will suit his pocket: a visit to a street whore. His son, also a tramp, imagines his father as a secretly wealthy man and dreams of the vast inheritance that will one day be his. The son is tormented over the idea of his father throwing away 100 shekels, and knowing his father is impotent, this infuriates him further. The street whore, far more practical than both of them, is satisfied with the old man's meager savings and relieves him of them in return for an illusion of love. In the end, fantasy remains the only redeeming force in their miserable lives.
