At the end of last year’s season, Lena Kitsopoulou caused a sensation with the superb monologue “My green skirt”.This year, the Greek National Theatre welcomes her in a dual capacity, as both writer and director.She will be joined by another exceptionally talented woman of the theatre, Maria Protopappa, who will co-direct and perform this new monologue written especially for the GNT.
