“The Whore from Ohio” by Hannoh Levin – Directed by Panayiotis Larkou

ETHAL (Limassol Theatre Development Company) will present for the first time for the Greek audience (translated in Greek), the worldwide well known play “The Whore from Ohio”, a black comedy masterpiece by Hanoch Levin.

The whore from Ohio is a black comedy that talks about sex, money, god, love, dreams, national honour, social security and lies about all of the above!
It is a story about a whore waiting for a rich tourist to marry her and buy her a pool and there is a possibility that this can actually happen (not!)
It is a story about a beggar who decides to celebrate his seventieth birthday (not!) by going to the whore and giving her all of his money (not!).
It is a story about a son who is running behind his father because he loves him (not!) and wants to offer him some love and affection (not! not! not!)
It is the story of these three people waiting. Waiting for something to happen and keep them alive, or at least not completely dead. Waiting for something to lead them through the dust and the dirt into the arms of the whore from Ohio.

The top dramatist, referred to as the Brecht of Israeli Theatre, is considered to be the reformer of contemporary dramaturgy in the neighbor country. The specific play is meant to be one of his best, worthwhile to mention that was performed at the La Ma Ma Theatre in New York City in 2006.

The translation (from Hebrew to Greek) was done by the awarded interpreter Jacob Shibi, the direction by Panayiotis Larkou, the set and costumes by Edwardos Georgiou and the lighting design by Vasilis Peteinaris. The play is consisted out of three actors: Eftyhios Poullaides, Vasiliki Kypraiou and Minas Tingilis.
