Philoctetes by Sophocles


philoctitis-sophoclis-filippoglou

A tragedy about human pain, abandonment and the association between conscience and politics, honour and duty.

With the Municipal Regional Theatre of Patras & Αρτivities,
Aimilios Heilakis, Konstantinos Markoulakis and Michael Marmarinos.

Direction by Kostas Filippoglou.

The performance is presented in Greek, with English surtitles.
