THEATRE
ODEON OF HERODES ATTICUS / ATHENS
Hippolytus
by Euripides
Euripides’ Hippolytus, directed by Katerina Evangelatos, was a profound success for the National Theatre of Greece at Epidaurus in 2023. Following a tour at notable stages across Greece, Cyprus, and at the Hong Kong Arts Festival in March 2025, this acclaimed production returns at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, on June 18-19, 2025.

The performance, a contemporary reading of the ancient tragedy through a visionary directorial approach, dives fearlessly into the feral world of Euripides and has earned rave reviews from both Greek and international critics.
Evangelatos’s own modern dress version of Euripides’s Hippolytus is another example of a radical approach to the classics. Adapted by Evangelatos, its story sees Aphrodite seeking revenge against Hippolytus for taking an oath of chastity, and here the goddess is on stage for the entire duration with a camera in hand, making her own film of the drama.
With Greek and English surtitles.
