*Final Performance:<\/strong> Sunday, April 13, 2025<\/p>\n\n \u201cDads with Rum<\/strong>,\u201d<\/strong>the legendary modern Greek comedy by Thanasis Papathanasiou and Michalis Reppas, continues <\/strong>unabated forits third<\/sup> year, following two years of continuous success with back-to-back <\/strong> sold-out<\/strong>shows<\/strong> and a major summer tour throughout Greece. Starting in October at the Aliki Theater!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Starring<\/strong>: Christos Hatzipanagiotis, Vicky Stavropoulou, Sofia Vogiatzaki, Konstantinos Gavalas, Niki Lami, and Konstantina Michael.<\/p>\n\n But what are these \u201cDads\u201d anyway?<\/p>\n\n It is a biting satire, first performed in 1996, that ridicules Greek society. A society that, even today, unfortunately continues to be larger<\/em> than itself, \u201csmaller\u201d in its behavior, greedy, racist, and offensive in all its manifestations. <\/p>\n\n Of course, a lot has happened since then. A new millennium dawned, and a new reality took hold among us. Upheavals, thwarted plans, countless new social media platforms, redefinitions of life, and a great deal of chaos. The shift in class identity that many people sought began to bring losses instead of gains. Homes were \u201cclosed down,\u201d and retail chains suffocated their owners. The non-existent authorities, however, remained just as steadfast\u2014and perhaps even more criminal. The term \u201ccrisis of conscience\u201d is not often heard. It has been reduced to simply \u201ccrisis.\u201d <\/p>\n\n The story of the five foolish, hapless, and desperate wretches in the play is, in our day and age, a banal part of everyday life. Roe, Vaska, Panagiotis, Jenny, Christos, and Mrs. Vasso are now characters who belong to the realm of realism, having leaped out of the pages of the play. They are living crimes that we encounter and greet every day, unsuspecting of what they might be hiding \u201cin their kitchens.\u201d <\/p>\n\n And what are those silly bastards doing at the Aliki Theater?<\/p>\n\n They serve some wonderful \u201cRum Dads\u201d with a dash of poison and\u2026 whoever meets their end. The four million that Dad\u2014who has now left this vain world\u2014won on the lottery are looking for their heir. Two sons, two daughters-in-law, a neighbor who\u2019s a bright know-it-all, and a nightmarish nurse talk, argue, conspire, and sleep peacefully, weaving a sweet web of mutual destruction. <\/p>\n\n “Dads with Rum” 2024. Who will be the last one standing to inherit the fortune? That remains to be seen. <\/p>\n\n %%GALLERY%%<\/p>\n\n Performance Dates & Times<\/strong>: Wednesday: 8:00 p.m., Thursday\u2013Friday: 9:00 p.m., Saturday: 6:00 p.m. & 9:00 p.m., Sunday: 7:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n Group Reservations Department: 2111026277 & 210 2117240 ext. 305 ( <\/strong>weekdays from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) \u2013 email: reservations@a-th.gr<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" at the Aliki Theater *Final Performance: Sunday, April 13, 2025 \u201cDads with Rum,\u201dthe legendary modern Greek comedy by Thanasis Papathanasiou and Michalis Reppas, continues unabated forits third year, following two…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":44975,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","cpt_portfolio_group":[449,452],"class_list":["post-44974","cpt_portfolio","type-cpt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cpt_portfolio_group-2024-2025","cpt_portfolio_group-aliki-theater"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/44974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cpt_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44974"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/44974\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44990,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio\/44974\/revisions\/44990"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cpt_portfolio_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/a-th.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cpt_portfolio_group?post=44974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
