“The taming of the Bugbear” Summer 2025

Rehearsals have already begun for our summer production and once again ETHAL partners up with two other theatrical teams, Point To Contemporary Theater on one hand and Anyhow Theatre Ensemble on the other, extending the cooperation among three theatrical organizations for the first time in a summer production, continuing the cooperation with newer groups, something that inaugurated with the previous production. The production will tour to Municipalities and Communities around the island and the exact schedule will be announced in a later time.

Fanouris Petorcheilos, a Director of Marine Academy, a widower with three sons, struggles to coordinate the chaos that rules his home. The life of this incorruptible bugbear will turn upside down when the feminine presence will appear, the young housekeeper Mrs. Anna. Her actions will change for better the life of the four men, but in reality, Anna approached the mariner to ask for a favor on behalf of her younger brother, who is about to be expelled from the Academy because of some sort of misdemeanor. When the truth surfaces, things are getting complicated in a skein of secrets, lies, worries, love, songs and dancing. What will happen when the skein unfolds?
