About the play:
The Community Circle unfolds through five one-act plays, each presenting a vivid, satirical snapshot of Greek diaspora life. From generational clashes and migration journeys to sharp-witted community figures and deceptive fortune tellers, the play offers both humour and insight into the cultural tensions and truths that shape Greek identity in Australia.
This production invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and celebrate the vibrancy of the Greek community through the enduring power of theatre.
