NTNG : Singles are buried in…Public!

The State Theater of Northern Greece presents the satirical music-theatre performance "The Unmarried Died...in the Public", directed by Hieroklis Michaelidis, in the Society of Macedonian Studies. The premiere of the show will be given on Friday 11 November, at 9.00 p.m.

The Bachelorettes are back – as are the Troika- occupying the Central stage of the Society of Macedonian Studies of KTHBE, with new satirical reserves, mentally cut in color (i.e. sip) and with a performance of radical populism and irrationality adapted to the new, theatrical conditions of the Dania of the South. (Loans with "e" from "loans").

Wiser, so sadder, responding to the call of the motherland, they come once more, with European air and oriental fiscal laziness, to highlight the advantages of the race, with a floating rate of laughter, or sweet melancholy. Although addicted to the sixth dose, they take the methadone of satire and proceed with the intention of becoming a DEKO of the future with a human face, which will put the burden on development.

With vitriolic prose and music-dance numbers they renew last year's memorandum having an outstanding debt to the nation to contrast comedy and smile with the general depression.
