If you want to pass the time and are bored.

An amateurish production. A few Americans trying to do Greek theatre, cash in on the tourists. Expected more from this

Wonderful experience! Must do.

Great acting…funny, dramatic. Everything you could want and more from a theatre experience! With the most beautiful backdrop of the Acropolis! Highly recommend!!!

Booked I. A whim, really glad we did.

It was a very well done sampling of great theater. It was funny, emotional and very entertaining. Next time I would skip the free glass of wine and opt for a bottle of water but that was a nice add-on. There was a wonderful view of the sunset before the show. It was a great length - about an hour. Being open air theater it just felt right for our trip to Athens.

Just amazing

This was a brilliant evening! I’ve studied drama and a regular theatre goer and took my partner who isnt a regular theatre goer. Honestly it was just fantastic! The staging is simple but effective, the actors are great and myself and my partner were belly laughing at parts! The backdrop of the acropolis is amazing - we had a fantastic evening and left with lovely memories

Greek theater and an acropolis sunset

Fun last night in Greece. This is a small outdoor theater production with a beautiful view of the sun setting on the Acropolis. Four actors performed 5 ancient Greek plays using creative but simple stage settings throughout.

Open Air play with Acropolis backdrop

Great comedy/tragedy skits, about 5 short ones in all. Very entertaining and funny and stunning backdrop of the acropolis. Great value for money . Male actors were quite good an even got a cup of wine and bottle of water included.
