The Greek Play

Admetus and his servant/stage manager say “Learn your lines, or may you live a longer life than Zeus!”

I’m having a very hard time believing that we’ll all be leaving Athens in less than one week. I’ve grown to think of this city as home after my months here, and it’s going to be somewhat strange to leave it, stranger still to actually land in my real hometown after 10+ months out of the country. But until I can even think about boarding that plane, we have a play to do. This is the shortest amount of time I’ve had to work on a show, and the pressure to get everything done and perfect before the curtain on Thursday has made a lot of people a little high-strung, myself included. But I really believe that if we all buckle down and focus in these last few days, we can accomplish something great here. We might as well make the most of the time we have here to prepare; if it gets too hectic just remember, in 7 days, we’re home. And we will be victorious.
