Description

Satiriko Theatro presents the comedy of Kenneth Lonergan "This Is Our Youth", adapted and directed by Evripides Dikeos.

The original play takes place in Manhattan and depicts two days in the lives of three college-age Upper West Siders who are from wealthy families but living in doped-up squalor. Dennis―with a famous painter father and social activist mother―is a small-time drug dealer and total mess. His hero-worshipping friend Warren has just impulsively stolen $15,000 from his father, an abusive lingerie tycoon. When Jessica, a mixed-up prep school girl, shows up for a date, Warren pulls out a wad of bills and takes her off, awkwardly, for a night of seduction.

The play by Satiriko is translated to the Cypriot dialect and takes place in Nicosia of 1993.
