A BIG HIT! A substantial production that oozes olive oil and retsina. It is bittersweet, sad, funny and tragic which I found profoundly moving.

Jeanti St Clair - ABC RADIO Theatre Review March 18, 2011

A great story of tolerance and resilience in hard times. UPLIFTING!

The Age - Melbourne, May 4, 2009

Hot on the heels of its national tour and sell-out Sydney Opera House seasons, CAFÉ REBETIKA! makes a triumphant return to the Arts Centre in Melbourne where it all began two years ago.

With an outstanding script based on a true story, sensational performances and great songs of the Greek Blues, CAFÉ REBETIKA! has won the hearts and minds of audiences and critics around Australia. If you haven't seen it yet, prepared to be taken on an emotional and thought-stirring journey you will remember for years to come.

Rebetika (reh-BEH-tee-kah) is a philosophy of acceptance and personal intergrity with music akin to tango, fado and American Blues. Growing out of the slums of urban Greece in the 20's and 30's, rebetika is about resilience, belief and the joy of life!
