- Title
Greek-Cypriot Community Theatre in Britain.
- Authors
Petsalas, Anastassios
- Abstract
It is only natural that the long theatrical tradition of Cyprus and Greece has critically influenced the theatre of Greek-Cypriots in England, since its inception in the early twentieth century. This article presents the panorama of the local amateur and semi- professional theatre groups, noting that colonial politics also had an impact on their repertory. The plays written by a variety of Greek-Cypriot playwrights have been staged in London and elsewhere in Greek, Greek-Cypriot, as well as in English translation.
