Venue: Cypriot Community Centre, Wood Green, London
The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission and the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK present The Island, a production by Limassol’s ETHAL with Point To Contemporary Theater.
Set in a prison cell in colonial Cyprus between 1955 and 1959, the play follows Andreas, a Greek Cypriot EOKA fighter, and Ibrahim, a Turkish Cypriot teacher, forced to share the same space. It is an original piece inspired by Athol Fugard’s play of the same name, created for Cyprus’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Directed by Achilleas Grammatikopoulos, it stars Giorgos Evagorou and Izel Seylani, and moves between Greek, Turkish and English. Staging it at the Cypriot Community Centre gives the story extra weight for the community in London.
The performance starts at 19:00 and runs for about 80 minutes with no interval, followed by a wine reception. It contains strong verbal and physical violence and is recommended for ages 15 and over. Book your place through Eventbrite.
