A comedy theatre troupe from Melbourne is touring in Sydney late this May. They are presenting the play “Μπαμπάδες με Ρούμι”. Mpampades are a sweet that can be filled with various liquers such as rum. But in our interview with one of the actors of the play informed us, the name also infers to those that see their fathers for their monetary value … what does my father have to offer to me?
The play has been around for over 10 years with many successes in Greece, Cyprus and other European cities. It apparently has also been translated into French (from memory) with great success in Belgium.
It was written by T. Papathanasiou & M Reppas and is being directed locally by M. Tsaldaris.
We were informed that it was a major success in Melbourne and they have decided to come up to Sydney and bring the laughs to us as well.
There are only 3 sessions planned and they will be on Friday 30th, Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June.
The Friday and Saturday sessions are at 8pm and Sunday at 3pm.
Tickets are $25 or $20 for concession.
It will be played at the Mantourideio Theatre at 142 Addison Road Marrickville – Click on the address for a map.
