“This show gives me the freedom to discuss the themes we all face in this life – race, gender, belonging, and freedom of expression,” says Mary Coustas. “Now, I feel I am ready to tackle these issues of the human condition as Mary. To step away from the puppet and expose the puppeteer.”
Known for her work as Effie on Acropolis Now, Mary Coustas gets personal with her new show. Directed by Blazey Best, she addresses questions from her curious daughter in her latest show, in an intimate exploration of love, laughter, family and loss.
