Crazy Grandma, 1986

5 male - 4 female

Rina (Cyprus) Katselli

The play revolves around political favors, that is the bribes and exchanges someone offers in order to get a job or a promotion. The protagonist is a state employee; an orphaned young woman from a removed family from the part of Cyprus occupied by the Turkish troops. One of her coworkers is trying to take advantage of her by offering her a promotion. The woman is torn, and in the end she stands her ground, with the help of her late grandmother’s memory, who, in the last years of her life, had sort of lost her mind. The play earned an award by the Cyprus Theater Organization.
