#CANCEL at Theatro Athinon – The Politically Incorrect Play You Need to See
Starting this October, Theatro Athinon dives deep into the waters of modern social and political reality with David Ireland’s bold play “#CANCEL” (original title: Ulster American), directed by Manolis Dounias.
Every time, the theater transforms into an arena of ideological clashes, deconstructing cancel culture, woke progressiveness, and the hypocrisy behind public personas with biting sarcasm and raw honesty.
The Play
An Oscar-winning American actor, an ambitious British director, and a Northern Irish writer fighting to be heard — they find themselves trapped in a rehearsal that spirals into a dangerous psychological and ideological battleground. What starts as a collaboration quickly derails into a ruthless confrontation over power, gender, identity, and freedom of speech.
A black comedy that spares no one.
🎭 The Cast
- Aimilios Chilakis
- Athina Maximiou
- Thanasis Kourlampas
This dynamic trio brings to life a relentless script that walks the line between farcical exaggeration and bleak realism, delivered with intensity, precision, and outstanding performances.

Theatro Athinon revives the magic of midnight shows! Every Friday at 23:59, Athens gains a new nocturnal destination, inviting audiences to a different kind of theatrical experience — where everything is allowed, and nothing is sacred.
