The Hellenic Art Theatre is preparing to bring laughter, chaos and classic Greek family humour to the stage with its latest production, ‘Ο Μπάρμπα Κώστας και η Παρθένα’ – ‘Uncle Costa and Parthena’, written by Greek Australian playwright Koula Teo and directed by Stavros Economidis.
The new season will run from 21 November to 7 December 2025 at the Greek Theatre – Mandouridion, located at Addison Road Community Centre in Marrickville, Sydney.
The play will be performed in Greek with English surtitles, ensuring both Greek-speaking and non-Greek-speaking audiences can enjoy the performance.
This witty comedy follows Uncle Costa, an unpopular, garlic-loving bachelor who suddenly reappears from Greece and moves back into his brother’s home – a decision that horrifies his sister-in-law and his niece and nephew.
His only supporters are his brother and a spinster neighbour until an unexpected windfall turns Costa into everyone’s favourite relative. How he handles this sudden turn of fortune forms the heart of the show, promising plenty of twists, laughs and heartfelt moments.
The talented cast includes: Mimika Valaris, Hayden Tsavalas, Anna Giovanaki, Dimitris Daviskas, John Daviskas, Evelyn Tsavalas and Foula Morfiadis.
