A Game of Dice
a Greek play by Dimitri Keraidis translated by John Theocharis and Robert Rowe
A hot afternoon in one of the poorer suburbs of Athens. Kolias, a lottery-ticket seller, wakes up from his siesta, clamouring for his 'kaffee.' His wife has gone out while he was asleep .. , But Fondas, his brother-in-law, a layabout and a fast-talker, presents him over a game of dice with a fantastic scheme: quick money, easy success, social attainment: a new glorious identity away from their drab present-day existence. One of the eternal aspects of Greek character has taken over.
