Theatre, music, choral singing and archive projections are woven together, with direction and text by Neoklis Neocleous and artistic direction by Koulis Theodorou.

For parentsA Monday to Die For: English Comedy in NicosiaA Monday to Die For is a brand-new English-language comedy from Cut the Drama Productions, and every penny from its four performances goes to the Blind School, for a new main hall, and to the Nicosia Red Cross, for wheelchairs. Ryan runs an office in the heart of London selling investments that are rather too good to be true, while he and his wife Laura have agreed that on Mondays the rules of marriage simply don't apply. Add a party-loving secretary called Kathy, her husband Sam and his peculiar habits, Freddy the most gullible multi-millionaire alive, and a parrot that rings for ambulances, and chaos is more or less guaranteed. Improbably, part of the plot is drawn from a true story. Written by Anthony T. Ashiotis and directed by Elmos Neocleous, it runs for 1 hour 40 minutes in English, starting at 20:00.
