The Island

ETHAL and Point To Contemporary Theater present a multilingual play about two prisoners and Cyprus’s shared history under British colonial rule.

Inspired by historical testimony from British colonial rule in Cyprus, this original production follows Greek Cypriot prisoner Andreas and Turkish Cypriot teacher Ibrahim, whose relationship develops in a shared cell. Greek, Turkish and English are woven through the performance. The production is by ETHAL (Limassol Theatre Development Company) with Point To Contemporary Theater; Giorgos Evagorou and Izel Seylani are the cast, with Demetris Demetriou as the British Interrogator and Çağdaş Polili as the Turkish Cypriot Policeman. Suitable for ages 15+; strong verbal and physical violence and realistic scenes are noted.
