The new Greek verse adaptation of 1,600 lines is by Ioli Andreadi and Aris Asproulis, based on the translation by Yagos Andreadis.
The play takes place in Paris in 1666 and focuses on Alceste, an honest man who opposes the hypocrisy of society. He falls in love with Célimène, who embodies everything he hates.
