In about half an hour, the long-awaited press conference will finally take place. Unbelievably, after decades of captivity in the British Museum, the ethereal Caryatid, the long-lost sixth sister, the shimmering symbol of an entire civilisation, is to return to Greece! The whole country is on tenterhooks waiting for her arrival, as if she were a best friend, aunt, or long-lost cousin from abroad. However, her journey home doesn’t go as smoothly as planned…

Katerina Mavrogeorgi directs Caryatid!, a brand new play by Giorgos Kapoutzidis about this long-suffering country’s remarkable tendency to get caught up in situations that quickly spiral out of control – in this case, with hilarious results.
