Invitation for 4 (Prosklisi gia 4): Black Comedy at the Vlisidis Theatre

Four strangers, one mysterious invitation and a lot of very black humour. A local troupe reunites for three nights at the Vlisidis.

Eva Gkountara's black comedy is back, reworked for 2026, as the Chania troupe E.N.stasi technis gets back together after a long break from the stage. Four people (or is it five?) each receive an invitation that brings them all to the same strange place, every one of them sure they know who they are about to meet, and what follows is an escape game from a reality none of them was ready for, with a new character who seems to have wandered in from all our phones. Lefteris Fakotakis, Vasilis Antonakis, Giannis Aggelakis, Nikos Markakis, Manos Sfakiotakis and Ntenia Karavasileiadi make up the cast, directed by Gkountara with Fai Psomadaki. Three performances only at the little harbourside Vlisidis Theatre: Saturday 7 November at 21:30, then Sunday 8 and Monday 9 at 20:00. Tickets are €15, or €12 for students, the unemployed, disabled visitors and anyone who buys ahead on more.com; it is performed in Greek.
