THE EULOGY

Iakovos Kambanellis' hilarious dark comedy “The Eulogy " starring the internationally renowned artist, Michael Dukakis.

The creative adaptation of “The Eulogy”, a satire full of humor, wit and social criticism by the leading Greek playwright Iakovos Kampanellis, by the theater group “Artists Nest” offers a modern approach to this outstanding classic work.

The Story

An elderly writer, returning from the funeral of an acclaimed colleague and anxious for fame, even if only after his own death, calls a fellow writer and tries to convince him they should write each other’s eulogy…

The theatrical legacy of Iakovos Kambanellis is priceless, and the creative adaptation of "The Eulogy" offers us the opportunity to bring it closer to the modern audience. The humor, satire and penetrating social criticism of the play remain unchanged, while it highlights the challenges of our time.

With the unique performance of the virtuoso Michalis Dukakis, it redefines the word “timely” in creative expression and offers a new perspective on classical interpretation.
