PLUTUS Comes To The National Theatre Of Greece 7/13

The National Theatre of Greece presents PLUTUS by Aristophanes running from July 13 to September 29 as the theatre's summer tour production.

The production, with a mixed cast of Greek and Serbian actors, focuses on Aristophanes' central question of how wealth is distributed, examining its relevance to today.

After visiting the Oracle of Delphi,
Chremylus returns home with a blind old man forced on him by Apollo. With the help of his slave, Carion, he discovers that the man is none other than Plutus, the god of wealth. Chremylus and all honest citizens will prosper if Plutus regains his sight. Sure enough, Asclepius cures him, and justice is restored. In response, Penia, the goddess of poverty, who has for so long run the city, now tries to defend the virtues of a life that is poor but honest. However, the Athenians are unconvinced and plan to restore Plutus to his old position at the back of the Temple of Athena, where the public treasury is located.

This production of PLUTUS is directed by Nikita Milivojevic.
