Troades Review (Joanna Kris)

Bottom Line: Extraordinary direction of Trojan Women by Leonidas Loizides

The theatergoers had a unique experience at the Cultural Center of New York on 18th of September. Loizides directed a masterpiece that none will ever forget. He managed to transform "Trojan Women" of Euripides into a unique performance that felt as if it was written in our times, even though the script was written 2500 years ago.

SIMPLE AND FLAWLESS "TROJAN WOMEN" BY LEONIDAS LOIZIDES

We had the honor to host in our island, Ios, at the 13th of August the play "Trojan Women" of Euripides under the direction of Mr Leonidas Loizides.

Given that in Ios we rarely host such ambitious productions, we were anticipating the event and the interest of locals was admittedly high. Especially when the music is signed by the great Mikis Theodorakis and the translation belongs to Michael Kakoyiannis, every Greek wants to be present.

Review from S.Auricchio, ADC Theatre of Cambridge 13/03/09

ASTONISHING "BACCHAE" PRESENTED BY LOIZIDES IN ADC THEATRE OF CAMBRIDGE

I am always reluctant when classic Greek drama is presented to a closed theatre. Since the component of the original scenery is absent, the bet of success is a really tough one by default. Many touring productions of this genre are poor, with one person handling all the tasks. It was to my great satisfaction that "Bacchae" of Euripides directed by Mr. Leonidas Loizides presented on Wednesday 19 of March in ADC Theatre of Cambridge, was an exception to the rule.

I decided to watch the show after seeing a flyer in Cambridge promoting the event. After searching more information on Mr. Loizides' website I found out that the performance has had toured in 17 states in the USA, as well as in Cyprus and Stuttgart and that Loizides had been awarded by American Congress and the State of New York. The expectations were high about the production and the artistic result of what I was about to attend.
