"THE LAST LUNCH"
Written by Yoel Wulfhart

THEATER OF THE NO Brings A Musical Comedy That Dares to Question ...
(performed and sung in English)
Premiere: Friday 17th May
THEATER OF THE NO, Athens' newest English-speaking theater,, presents «THE LAST LUNCH», a musical comedy that promises a blend of laughter and profound introspection. Written by Yoel Wulfhart and directed by Manos Tsotras. Opening for the first time outside America on Thursday, May 17th, for a limited run through to June 24th. A surreal, modernist farce, a menu of laughter and food for thought, that shines a light on the lives we hope and pretend to live.
Set in a world where Jesus walks among us, teaching selfless love while confronting human indifference and selfishness, the play delves into the complexities of existence with humor and insight.
At the “table” of THE LAST LUNCH Jesus arrives to save and elevate his people, but they baptize him in a mop bucket, are unable or unwilling to love, offer up prayers with selfish motives, and are obsessed with money, sex and personal success. As a result, He decides to spend his time playing Sudoku and avoiding talk of a “Second Coming”.
"Vanity of vanities, 'all is vanity'?". The play confronts this existential question head-on, challenging audiences to reconsider their perspectives on life, joy, and meaning.
Our menu promises an experience that serves more than just food. "You might not get what you want, but you won’t get what you expect either, and you definitely won’t think the same way again," teases Wulfhart.
Theatre of The NO: Audience members are encouraged to arrive one hour prior to showtime to mingle with fellow theatergoers and meet the creative team behind the production.
