The section of theatrical performances of the Patras International Festival continues at 9:00 on the evening of Saturday, September 21 at the Municipal Summer Theater with the presentation of the play “The Players” directed by Giorgos Koutlis.
The play was written by the great Russian dramatist and novelist Nikolai Gogol and published in 1842 with the author offering the public a “haunted” mystery comedy.
The adrenaline of the combine, the mastery and the disease of gambling, the ability to deceive everyone, but not to be deceived yourself, and the human obsession to prevail against anyone who is “next to”, dominate the pen of Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol. .
Yiannis Niarros, Vasilis Magouliotis, Ilias Moulas, Alexandros Chrysanthopoulos, Thanasis Dimos, George Tsavaras and George Boukaouris meet on stage for one of the wildest journeys in the world of bluff and risk in this unforgettable comedy adrenaline.
Live music, unexpected improvisations and wild humor in a show – optical illusion, a situational farce, about the art of deception: Performance or reality, actor or role, perpetrator or victim, truth or lie, all are confused and in the end, all that remains is the game.
THE PROJECT
In a remote inn in Russia, a serious card player, con artist, and forger arrives. His goal is to find his next victims and “scratch” them. But it won’t be that simple. In the same inn reside two equally evil con men, who are after the exact same thing as the first: a luscious, innocent and, of course, wealthy victim. The two meet the one and soon join forces, leading the show into a pandemonium full of bluffs, risk, rivalries, alliances, surprises and twists, as all the strange tenants who hang around in this small and quiet inn.
