an overwhelming success. It swept
every category of the Time Out
Athens Theatre Awards. It
played for two full seasons in
Athens and several months in
Thessaloniki. Mr. Green was played
by Giorgos Michalakopoulos,
who also directed. Ross Gardiner
was Gerasimos Skiadaresis.
They are both well-known theatre
and film actors.
When you arrived at the theatre,
there was a saxophone player
outside on the street playing.
When the play began, the lights
went down and that same sax
player walked across the stage on
the street above Mr. Green's
basement apartment playing a
mournful tune.
The Greek translation was done by
prominent translator Erricos
Belies, and will soon be published
in anticipation of a revival of the
play. The title in Greece translates
as "Every Thursday, Mr. Green".
