Athens Epidaurus Festival 2021 Programme

ATHENS EPIDAURUS FESTIVAL
THEATRE BOOK SERIES
In collaboration with Nefeli Publishing
A bold new endeavour for the Festival: the launch of a new theatre book
series, publishing texts of Festival productions held at the Ancient Theatre
of Epidaurus and the Little Theatre of Ancient Epidaurus. The new
series, realised in collaboration with Nefeli Publishing, under the direction
of Katerina Evangelatos, and edited by Dimitra Kondylaki, aims to
introduce not just audiences but also avid theatre readers to the works
featured in the artistic programme.
Intent on bringing new translations and original theatrical texts to the
fore, the newly launched book series wishes to eschew the rationale behind
the largely ephemeral theatre programmes by securing a long-term
life for theatrical texts, showcasing their value as self-contained literary
texts. To that end, the Festival book series will also be available in bookstores.
Seven plays will be published this year as part of the newly launched
Athens Epidaurus Festival book series.
