to 8 Sep - The Thessalian Theatre presents the Persians at various locations

A new approach on the great tragedy of Aeschylus
The Thessalian Theatre attempts a new approach on the great tragedy of Aeschylus, Persians. Outstanding collaborators and contemporary aspects put together a remarkable performance which opened on July 1 in Larissa and now tours throughout Greece up until September 8.

The play offers the only instance in the Aeschylean tragedies of the use of a plot taken from other than Homeric sources. It was written to celebrate the final defeat of the armies of Xerxes, but was not exhibited until 472 B.C., seven years after the hostile army had departed, never to return.

The scene is laid in Persia, among the very enemies against whom the Greeks had fought for more than eleven years. The successive scenes give the narrative of the defeat and ruin of the Persian forces. One sees the oriental setting, the fear of the down-trodden subjects in the presence of their despotic ruler, the votive offerings and libations of Queen Atossa, and finally the sorrow and wailing of Xerxes and his courtiers at the news of the disaster. It is easy to imagine how such a play would feed the secret pride and exultation of a Greek audience.

It is, however, far more than a boastful picture of Greek triumph and Persian defeat; rather is it a moral lesson on the subject of tyranny, designed to touch the heart and conscience of every oppressor, whether Greek or barbarian.

to 15 Sep - "Koutrouli's wedding" on tour, "Theatrikh Diadromi" presents the play of Rizou-Ragavi

By: Spyros Samaras

A play which is presented at all the great festivals of Greece. A social, comical and always modern play,which is telling us the story of Koutroulis and his effort to marry his beloved Anthoula, whose objections he tries to overcome with his political strength.

This play is important and has a structure and a plot we have met in all the classic comedies. Situations and persons not unknown but always easy for the audience to deal with and decide who he stands for.. Rich and inlove Koutrouli, young Anthousa, opportunist mr Spyros, cunning Strovili (who is quite like Scapin from Moliere) or young Xanthouli.

Especially, this is the story:Emmanouil Koutroulis, tailor from Syros, arrives in Athens accompanied by his servant , Strovili, determined to marry his youngest Anthousa, daughter of mr Spyros.Anthousa, who has a secret affair with Xanthouli, wanting to avoid this marriage, sets a term:she will marry Koutrouli only if he stops being a tailor and becomes...a minister. Loveshaken Koutroulis starts then, with help from his servant, to buy supporters who will guarantee him a vote.

Many funny stuff happen happen next,who finally prove that things havent changed so much until today while a constellation of important actors and contributors promise the adequacy of the play.

13 Sep - Gary Moore live in Athens at the Faliro Arena (Tae Kwon Do).

Gary Moore is acknowledged as one of the finest musicians that the British Isles has ever produced. In a career that dates back to the 1960s, there are few musical genres that he has not turned his adroit musical hand to, and has graced the line-ups ever several notable rock bands, Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and Skid Row to name but three.

This talented, blues-influenced singer and guitarist formed his first major band, Skid Row, when he was just 16 years old - initially with Phil Lynott, who left after a few months. After just two albums they disbanded, leaving Moore to form the Gary Moore Band. Their debut, Grinding Stone, appeared in 1973, but progress was halted the following year while Moore assisted Thin Lizzy after guitarist Eric Bell had left the band. This liaison lasted just four months before Moore was replaced by Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Moore subsequently moved into session work before joining Colosseum II in 1976. He made three albums with them, and also rejoined Thin Lizzy for a 10-week American tour in 1977 after guitarist Brian Robertson suffered a severed artery in his hand. Moore finally became a full-time member of Thin Lizzy in 1978, working on the band's Black Rose album. At the same time he completed the solo set Back On The Streets, which featured 1979's UK Top 10 single "Parisienne Walkways", an atmospheric ballad that featured uncredited vocals by Lynott.

Moore left Thin Lizzy in July 1979, midway through a US tour. He formed the hard rock band G-Force, though this outfit soon foundered. His breakthrough to worldwide commercial acceptance came in 1990 with Still Got The Blues, which featured superb guitar work and confident vocals. Mixing blues standards and originals, Moore was acclaimed as one of the UK's foremost artists, a stature that the release of After Hours - featuring cameo appearances from B.B. King and Albert Collins - only confirmed. Both this album and the follow-up live set, Blues Alive, reached the UK Top 10.

In 1994 Moore collaborated with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker as BBM, releasing an accomplished and satisfying album, but personality conflicts meant that the trio was short-lived. In 1995 he released the excellent Blues For Greeny, an album of songs written by Peter Green. Dark Days In Paradise had little blues on offer. Just as his followers were becoming used to his recent style, Moore attempted rock, AOR and pop. The album's tepid success no doubt reflected their rejection of his new approach. A Different Beat employed dance rhythms over regular rock structures and Moore's guitar playing was as sharp and fluid as ever. To the great relief of many of his fans, he returned to his roots on the aptly-titled Back To The Blues. But just when they though he was back at blues for good Gary released the rockfest that is Dirty Finger's full of heavy riffs and blistering solos . His latest Scars while very good it never captured the sheer excelence that Moore showed in the early days Moore is still doing tours and is said to be releasing another album soon .
