 The playThe premiere of the play of Dimitris Kechaΐdis was in February 1972 in the Theatre Technis under direction of Karolos Koun. Fontas: Nikitas Tsikiroglou and Kollias: Giannis Mortzos. "Backgammon" ist performed again and again until now, which shows its impressive power. The agile dialogues of Kechaΐdis´during a game of backgammon characterize the unique atmosphere of greek reality. Unfortunately the author has passed away, but his work is still enlighting the reality in Greece.

Some words of the directorFontas and Kollias, in the early 1970ies. In the courtyard of their house, afternoon in August. Fontas, the backgammon-player. Kollioas, the lottery ticket seller. Within one afternonn they invent the fraud of the century: "As businessmen they will grab the good", as they say. The fraud ist prepared, collapses and is prepared again. The heroes struggle with the past, their unpleasant present and their hopeful future. A comedy, which shows the greek reality and the dream of the Greeks «to save one's neck».
