the ‘bravos’ of all theatre critics. The play was first staged
at the theater «Labeti» the year 2008.
In the summer 2011 “In Laws From Tirana” toured throughout Greece
where it enjoyed sold out performances. The play this year is

A small summary of the play
Penny and Likourgos are a wealthy couple living in a town in
Central Greece. They have a daughter Liza, who studies in London.
It seems that they have no worries. Their only concern is to find
a good and wealthy husband for their daughter.
Their next door neighbours are Polina, Penny’s sister, and her
husband Vasili who also enjoy a luxurious life. Liza is coming
from London to visit her parents with her boyfriend, Alfred, who
is also a student in London. The family is taken by Alfred’s kindness
, manners and the physique of the young man.
When Alfred’s parents, Boukouran and Klabeta also arrive in the
house a string of hilarious comical incidents will start to unfold
and the revolutions will succeed one another. The Greek minister
of cultural affairs will also get involved in all the misunderstandings
and deceptions through which the corruption of the Greek political
system and moral decline of the Greek society will be revealed.
In the end, all masks will fall and Liza and Alfred will find
their way…
