Polyplanity Productions in collaboration with EllinikoTheatro present the solo theatre performance Socrates Now with EMMY award winner Yannis Simonides. The theatrical rendition of Plato’s ‘Apology’ returns for the 4th consecutive year beneath the Acropolis, a few steps from where the philosopher was sentenced to death 2400 ago.
Take a seat in the court of ancient Athens as Socrates goes on trial for his life. Hear the philosopher face his accusers with his trademark wit, cutting logic, and the courage of his ideals. Consider his arguments on virtue, justice, politics, corruption, civic duty, love of life and hope in death, and draw your own judgment. Enjoy the post-performance opportunity to discuss with the actor the ramifications of your verdict.
Think. Question. Change.
