“Public Eye” by Peter Shaffer

Directed by: Efi Drosou

A comedy about love!

OPENING: 11 March 2022

VENUE: Royal (Vasiliko) Theatre

 

A comedy about love and infidelity, enriched with aspects of farce and detective fiction. The production, which brings with it a heady whiff of the 1960s, undermines social conventions and strikes a delicate balance between comedy and social satire.
 

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PLAY

Belinda strolls the streets of the city, passing the time in aimless wanderings. At the same times, her husband, mad with jealousy, hires a detective to trail her. An eccentric, he follows her wherever she goes... or is she following him? Gradually, a bizarre and silent relationship develops between the two.

Τhe Public Eye, a comedy in one act, was first presented at the Globe Theatre in 1962 directed by Peter Wood, with the following cast: Kenneth Williams, Richard Pearson and Maggie Smith. Ιn 1972, it was adapted by Peter Shaffer into the film Follow Me! directed by Carol Reed and starring Mia Farrow, Topol and Michael Jayston.
