A mansion, a corpse, eight women, no alibi, who is the killer? The International Festival of Patras and the Municipal Summer Theater will be at 9.30 on the evening of Tuesday 9 July, one of the summer stations of Robert Thomas’ famous police comedy “Eight Women”.
The show offers large “doses” of laughter, mystery and twists, in a recital of performances by an unbeaten female dream team. Yro Mane, Iota Festa, Tania Trypi, Fotini Demiri, Eugenia Dimitropoulou, Ioanna Triantafyllidou, Eugenia Xygorou and Mariza Tsari.
The project is presented with the directorial signature of Christos Sougaris, director of the great hits “Court of Miracles: the Musical”, “Scrooge and ghosts and rock and roll” and “Troades”.
The case
Eight women are stranded in an isolated house on the occasion of a family reunion. Suddenly they are confronted with a murder – but also with their best kept secrets.
Gaby, wife of the tycoon Marcel, his two daughters, Suzon and Catherine, his sister-in-law, Augustine, his mother-in-law, Mamie, his uninvited and unwanted sister, Pierrette, the secretive housekeeper, Madame Chanel, and the beautiful maid, Louise . They are all suspicious.
The host Marcel, the only man in the house, is brutally murdered in his room. As no one entered the house the night before, the suspicions of murder rest on them – and only them.
In the process of solving the case, secrets and lies are revealed regarding the women’s relationship with the murdered man, husband, father, brother, employer and son-in-law.
Was he finally the kind, mild-mannered family man who was unbearably oppressed by the women who surrounded his life, or the classic male exploiter, unfaithful and abuser of them?
