The Travelling Players

A traveling theatre troupe tours the Greek countryside from 1939 to the early 1950s, staging “Golfo the Shepherdess”. As the years pass, its members endure persecution, betrayal, executions, and exile. Their personal stories become entangled with the country’s major historical events, in a seemingly endless cycle of violence and loss.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
