“A stirring, lyrical story about things that touch and test our human core... The Lady Of Ro will break and mend your heart.”
The Lady of Ro immerses us in the ascetic world of a woman living alone on a small Greek island questioning the values she once held true. The play is inspired by the life of Despina Achladioti, the Greek widow known as the Lady of Ro after the name of the deserted island where she took refuge between the two World Wars. After the invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Achladioti became a hero and folk legend for her persistence in raising the Greek flag on the island. The Lady of Ro examines what happens to the dreams we hold close during war time, the ties that bind daughters and mothers, husbands and wives, folk legends and madwomen to one another and to the places they call home. Like every story about love or mourning, it is about fighting our way through history and back into what makes us human.
