Implicit Stage Directions in the “9th July 1821 in Nicosia”, by Vassilis Michaelides

Περίληψη

“The 9th July 1821 in Nicosia” has been repeatedly staged as a theatrical play. Even if this very popular text of Cypriot poetic synthesis doesn’t have the outer form of a drama, it has many theatrical caracteristics, and the author himself included indications on space, time and persons very similar to a playwright’s stage directions.
