Catch the Ancient Greek Theater Performance for an evening of myth in English. Follow a modern tourist who lands in ancient Athens and crosses paths with Medea, Odysseus and the daughters of Oedipus in about an hour.
Full description
This English-language performance turns Greek mythology into an accessible, energetic evening. A modern tourist visiting the Acropolis wakes in fifth-century-BC Athens and meets characters such as Medea, the daughters of Oedipus, the god of wealth and Odysseus, drawn from both comedy and tragedy.
The small cast switches between humour and drama, and reviewers praise the rooftop setting with the Acropolis as a backdrop. It lasts about an hour, making it a compact cultural outing that works equally well for newcomers to mythology and for audience members who already know the stories.

Mireille – Switzerland | August 29, 2026 Mireille discovered the show unexpectedly and enjoyed its accessible, energetic approach to mythology. Humor and passionate acting made it rewarding even without extensive knowledge of the stories.
