The Tsekme Family — Tolis Papadimitriou

Tolis Papadimitriou's new comedy, with Maria Kitsou in her first comic role. In Greek, 21:30.

Tolis Papadimitriou writes, directs and stars in this one, and the casting hook is Maria Kitsou, known for serious dramatic work, playing comedy for the first time as Roza Tsekme. It is loud, fast, faintly ridiculous family farce, and it has been touring the country all summer on word of mouth. Seven actors, no interval to speak of, and a crowd that arrives already in the mood. Performed in Greek. Advance tickets are through more.com, which does not publish a Chania price on a page a machine can read, so check there or at the box office. Worth pairing with a late dinner afterwards, since 21:30 in the moat means you are out around 23:00 and the old town is only just warming up.
