Great show with minimal but effective stagecraft and great acting. Loved the setting although some of the surrounding background noise like loud music from street and mopeds interfered a little.
Beautiful and fun show, also the welcome was super with a glass of wine and water offered. Very evocative location under the acropolis with an incredible view
Hilarious from start to finish. As a theatre degree holder myself it was so refreshing to see culture and history made into a funny and friendly manner. 12/10 would recommend! Incredible actors, incredible view, perfection!
This is a relaxed and informal and fun way to spend an evening. The rooftop stage is a perfect venue for this enjoyable experience as you look around at the panoramic view of Athens at night culminating in spectacular sight of the Parthenon from the foot of the acropolis. The wine served is not for the feint of heart, but the bottled water was appreciated. They try and succeed to entertain with an updated take on some of the classics.
Recommended due to beautiful views and fun version of Greek storytelling. Good costumes, good in English and fit the description «school review» in Greek version. Good lighting and plus for drink included. Somewhat uncomfortable chairs. Lasted about 1 hour
We were only in Athens for one day while passing through and really wanted to experience something special. The performance completely exceeded our expectations. Under the open sky with the backdrop of the Acropolis, as authentic as thousands of years ago, performed with great passion, this theatrical performance had the magical power of time travel and took us back to ancient times. You are allowed to take photos without flash (no videos) during the performance. You also get wine or water to drink, and after the performance, you can thank the actors personally and take photos. Great performance for the price of two cocktails is actually 🍹 way too little. We would recommend this experience to everyone. Please be sure to drop a few bills into the tip jar after the performance.
A brilliant experience and worth the money. Under the acropolis with a really atmospheric set, was a highlight of the holiday. Standard of the acting excellent and I liked the whip through of a few different myths. Glass of wine on arrival, super friendly staff, intimate setting - would really recommend.
Unreal experience! The acting was amazing and captivating. Great mix of comedy and drama! The view from rooftop was added bonus!
A fantastic collection of short plays covering ancient Greek myth. I would highly recommend seeing this. A fantastic hour.
A fun show with actors portraying characters in Greek dramas and comedies, some light-hearted moments, but also serious moments . Enjoyed by all, ages 12-75.
