Genuinely one of the best theatre shows I’ve seen, the physicality, acting performance and a/v was all on point, everyone brought phenomenal energy and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So worth it cannot recommend enough
Top-level show, very talented actors. Efficient organization, we had a small problem and arrived a bit late and they were super understanding and helpful! But above all, the show is very beautiful and of high quality! It's worth it
This was the best way to end our stay in Athens. These actors put on an incredible performance. All in the audience were moved by the show. I highly recommend this to all who want a great evening
I really loved the interesting way the story of The Odyssey was told in this performance. The actors were very good and gave really strong performances even though there were only 3 actors in the whole show. We came because of my daughter’s love of Greek Mythology and she really enjoyed it too. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Such a fun affordable thing to do in Athens. I didn’t know what to expect but the three actors were amazing! It’s exactly 75 minutes and I was thoroughly entertained the whole time. 5 star performance. I will say, it is very warm in the theater so I would bring a handheld fan of some sort. They also provide water and wine!
If you wish to have the best experience of the Odyssey, this is it. It was charming and well presented. It captures the Homer probably better than Nolan movie.
Excellent and talented acting, in the heart of Plaka, a wonderful evening experience with friendly staff in an intimate crowd. Loved the choice of references to the Odyssey. Nice opportunity to meet other travellers in the audience before the show started. Please note LOCATION is at Webster University Library, in front of the ruins.
The performance was quite good - hit all the highlights I recall from reading The Odyssey in high school. Appreciated the offering of wine and water. Room and stage were smaller than I expected but it didn't bother me. Only thing that would have made the experience better was some air conditioning! Wish they would also put on some other ancient performances that we read in school (Oedipus, etc)
Amazing! We saw the sign for this on the outside of the building and were not sure what to expect. But it was an excellent small production. I highly recommend this activity. My kids (11 and 13) are into Greek mythology and theater and loved it (so did I).
The show was wonderful!!! It was fast paced and hard to believe it was an hour. Anyone using Viator Google map link...it takes you to the wrong spot. I appreciate the foot tour around Athens but I was almost late.
