Greek Theatre: Μπαμπάδες με Ρούμι … update
Posted by evdomada on May 19, 2008
We had an opportunity on last Saturday’s Evdomada Einai Kai Kylaei show to interview one of the actors from the theatre troupe touring Sydney later this month that will be staging Μπαμπάδες με Ρούμι.
So what more did we find out from the interview???
Well Μπαμπάδες are a dessert … a cake! And they can be filled with various liqueurs such as ρούμι or rum, or brandy or whatever other liqueur. That’s something I didn’t know!
But there is also a play on the word Μπαμπάδες in that there are fathers out there seen for what they have to offer to their children in monetary terms. The main premise of the play is the passing of a father, the gathering of the family for the will, a winning lottery ticket … and the Bulgarian lady that the father had married recently.
We are told that there are many laughs and we will not be disappointed.
The play has been a major success in Greece and also translated in other languages and played in other parts of Europe. The Melbourne performances were a major success, Sydney is their next stop and there are plans to take it to Hobart next.
