The venues were the Paphos Ancient Odeon, the Curium Ancient Theatre and the Makarios III Amphitheatre in Nicosia.

imagery that seduced the audience; the Larissa Municipal Regional Theatre of Greece with Aeschylus’ "Prometheus Bound" presenting the hero as the originator of inventions and progress; the Yerevan State Youth Theatre of Armenia with Aristophanes" attack on education and morals: "Clouds"; the National Theatre of Northern Greece with Aristophanes’ pacifist attack on war-making: "Peace"; Opsis Theatre from Canada with "Electra" by Hugo Hoffmanstahl after Sophocles and Scala Theatre from Cyprus with Aristophanes’ rollicking comedy "Frogs".
