Grandpa has high blood pressure.

August 26 | 9:30 pm - 11:30 pm

The frantic comedy by Dimitra Papadopoulou, directed by Christos Tripodis and produced by the Methexis company, is on summer tour for the second consecutive year.
A grandfather, three outrageous granddaughters, a “cop”, an ideological young man, a “murder” and a romantic dinner with lentils lead a crazy Greek family into hilarious situations. Three sisters at a turning point in their lives, the anarchist Popi, who “falls” in love with a “cop”, the frightened Fofi, who declares her personal revolution and sets new terms and rules in her life and the careerist Maria, who aims to finally become a mother, get entangled in uncontrollable misunderstandings. The connecting link of all, the leftist and dementia-stricken Grandpa, who becomes the ideological inspiration for the founding of the new political movement, named “Psaxou”. The movement created by Haris, Maria’s partner, aspires to become the voice of the younger generation of Greeks.
Dimitra Papadopoulou’s legendary “Grandpa” after the 1997 and 2012 performances is making a dynamic comeback to bring joy and laughter to our summer evenings and with more “pressure” than ever.
