The ancient Greek play "The Persians," written by Aeschylus, was performed at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus on July 3 and 4, 2026. Directed by Christos Theodoridis in his directorial debut at Epidaurus, the production drew significant attention and a large audience, with over 17,000 spectators attending across the two days. The cast featured notable actors including Maria Nafpliotou, Dimitris Kataleifos, Anastasios Roilos, and Stavros Svigkos, accompanied by a dynamic 17-member Chorus.
The performances received enthusiastic responses, particularly noted in the final act where the intense stomping of the Chorus marked a dramatic conclusion. Attendees included various prominent figures, and the event has been characterized as a highlight of the summer season's theater offerings. The revival of this classic play continues to draw interest, reflecting both the enduring legacy of Aeschylus and the cultural significance of the Epidaurus festival.
