    Andreas and Agisilaos, two rich old friends, are fascinated with young Rita, a poor girl from Plaka, who often visits their aristocratic neighborhood in Kifissia with her mother. They dream of asking for her hand and wonder if aged men have the right to fall in love. Agisilaos actually means to propose marriage whereas Andreas would rather sell his soul to the devil, like Faust, (which he actually does) so he can be young again and win Rita’s love in the traditional way. But perhaps Agisilaos’ option proves to be more …traditional than Andreas’ and finally the two men (the former in his old age and the latter in his rejuvenated version) will have to fight hard to win Rita’s affection.Read More »

    King Oedipus, the ruler of Thebes, blinds himself after learning that he inadvertently killed his own father, and got married to his mother.

After a tragic clash between brothers for the throne, the new monarch of Thebes, Creon, decrees that the body of the traitorous Polynices should be left unburied–a royal order which Antigone chooses to defy. Now, a cruel fate awaits the rebellious woman in the castle’s cold and dank dungeons, as Apollo’s blind prophet, Tiresias, warns the king of the Gods’ wrath. Alas, an irreversible chain of events is already set in motion.Read More »
