I Want to Hold Your Hand (Thelo Na Sou Kratao To Cheri)

Tasos Iordanidis and Thalia Matika's much-loved Athens hit plays the East Moat, with five years of sold-out houses behind it.

After five sold-out years in Athens, Tasos Iordanidis brings «Θέλω να σου κρατάω το χέρι» (I Want to Hold Your Hand) on its first big summer tour, co-starring and directed by Thalia Matika. It's a warm, funny, quietly devastating two-hander about love and the years that test it, and Greek audiences have adopted it the way they adopt very few plays. Performed in Greek, worth knowing before you book, but if your Greek is up to it, this is the theatrical event of the Chania summer. 9pm at the East Moat Theatre.
