About the event:
Our current project, Just Tell Them Santa’s Dead, is an original series of one acts attempting to reclaim and modernize themes explored by classical playwrights such as Shakespeare, Euripides and Sophocles. Featuring a balanced cast of characters that include LGBTQ+ and minority representation, we believe that these pieces are an important contribution to the Cypriot theatrical milieu in which LGBTQ+ and minority communities are still either under or inappropriately represented. These one acts are, fundamentally, tragedies. Like Medea, Hamlet and Oedipus, a series of fated events and/or their own actions lead the characters and the audience down dark paths where the audience is invited to question the morality of the characters’ actions and our role in guarding, challenging or changing traditional societal values.
