Stories… from the sweet country of Cyprus
Leontios Machairas’ Chronicle 2011
"I’m telling you for sure, King Pierre was in love with the Queen - by the will of God - and, before departing for France, he took her night-dress as a souvenir so that she could sleep in his arms every night.”
The performance takes place in the room of Leontios Macheras, who tells stories and gossips of the royal court to his guests, with the help of his two maids. The narration is based on the short stories from Leontios Machairas’ medieval Chronicle, as selected by Dr Nadia Anaxagorou.
