Unique Cyprus drama festival takes audience back to ancient Greece

The International Festival of Ancient Greek Drama is an annual government-run event in Cyprus (co-organised by the Cultural Services of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Cyprus Centre of the International Theatre Institute (CCITI) and Cyprus Tourism Organisation). With accommodation, travel and other expenses paid for over 30 theatre companies around the world pitch every year for participation. This year only six companies were selected, including groups from Greece, Romania, Georgia and Cyprus itself. The only other event of this kind in Europe is held in Greece. Staged in ancient amphitheatres, the audiences get a sense of how these dramas were performed 2,500 years ago.
