The play The play is about the return of two children to the village. The mother, a fortune teller who lives in the village with her bedridden husband, tries to persuade her two children, who live and work in Athens, to return to the village. In order to live in the village, they need a job and money. Apart from the gold coins her father has from her rebellious grandfather, the daughter will work as an undertaker, as she is a philologist, and the son will open a funeral parlour as an architect and design coffins and graves. Will they find the gold coins? Will the mother make it? A black comedy penned by Kostas Stavrou.

A few words about the author Konstantinos Stavrou comes from Arta, where he lives and works as a vet. He has been involved in amateur theatre since 2015 as a member and actor in the amateur theatre group Kombotiou. In 2017, he wrote his first plays "Return to the Village" and "Black Friday". He wrote five more works. His last work is "Dinner of Revelation". "Return to the Village" reflects the black humour that the author developed as a defence mechanism against the loss of his parents at the age of 22. This play has been performed with great success in the past by the theatre group "A.Th.O.A." in Arta and by the theatre group "Synthes" in Ioannina.
