THE PROSTITUTE UPSTAIRS - A One Woman Show About Equality Comes to United Solo Festival
Greek contemporary comic tragedy, THE PROSTITUTE UPSTAIRS, makes its English language debut in New York, at the 2018 United Solo Theatre Festival.
The solo seventy-minute show, finds Erato, the housewife of a corrupt Greek policeman, returning home from her husband's funeral. Reminiscing about her past, she identifies and frees herself from the social, cultural and psychological boundaries that have been keeping her from taking charge of her life.
A tribute to all women, with sharp humor and biting irony, The Prostitute Upstairs, has received rave reviews in both Greece and France.
Written by Antonis Tsipianitis | Starring Elena Crociani | Directed by Albert Baker.
