Sydney’s Hellenic Art Theatre are currently running their production Cries of a Thief (ΦΩΝΑΖΕΙ ο ΚΛΕΦΤΗΣ) until 13 December.
The comedy written by Dimitris Psathas and directed by Stavros Economidis follows the story of Timoleon, who finds himself fired from every job he’s had for being too honest.
He then comes across a lost wallet and returns it to its owner, Solonas. As it turns out, Solonas is a retired General and employs Timoleon as a bookkeeper as an act of goodwill.
As it turns out Timoleon uncovers a web of fraud and misuse of public money, put together by Andonis, the brother of the General’s wife (Lia).

The honest man is desperate to get the word out, barging drunk into the General’s bedroom in the thick of night to share the truth, but instead finds his demise and being labelled as a crazy swindler.
You will have to go and find out what comes of honest Timoleon and you can do so by purchasing tickets here.
The show runs every Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 5:00pm until 13 December at the Greek Theatre Mantouridion in Marrickville.
It is performed in Greek with English surtitles so everyone can join in on the laughs.
