An Album of Stories
The Cultural Section of the Cyprus High Commission in the UK, in collaboration with Theatro Technis
By Antonis Georgiou, adapted for the stage by Marina Vrondi and Valentinos Kokkinos, exploring memory, family, and intergenerational connection.
An Album of Stories is a staged reading of the theatrical adaptation of Antonis Georgiou’s award-winning book. This poignant work unfolds through a series of intimate, intersecting voices—children, carers, siblings, and grandparents—who orbit around the figure of Grandma Despina, whose memory is slowly fading. Through a delicate web of stories, the piece reflects on illness, care, silence, and love passed down across generations. Adapted by Marina Vrondi and Valentinos Kokkinos, and directed by Marios Theocharous, this performance offers a lyrical, resonant tribute to lives remembered and the emotional legacies that shape us.
MEMORY. FAMILY. TIME. TOLD THROUGH SNAPSHOTS OF THE SOUL
