BIG BOYS

by Rich Orloff

THEATRE OF THE NO

From March 7 | Every Friday & Monday at 20:00

An award-winning, razor-sharp two-character comedy that dives into life’s absurdities and surreal moments.

THEATRE OF THE NO, Athens’ first English-speaking theatre, presents the award-winning dark comedy “BIG BOYS” by acclaimed American playwright Rich Orloff, under the direction of Yoel Wulfhart.

A fast-paced, razor-sharp satire, this contemporary play humorously and sarcastically exposes the dark side of workplace competition and the human need for validation and dominance. Offering a hilarious and incisive exploration of power, ambition, and male desire, the play premieres on Friday, March 7th, and runs every Friday and Monday at 20:00.

A power game on the edge of absurdity.

This two-character comedy delves into the absurd and often dark dynamic between a self-satisfied, grandiose, and amoral boss and his insecure, ethical, yet deeply unhappy assistant. Set within a single office, the play becomes a battleground where power, ambition, and morality collide in a high-stakes game of manipulation and survival.

With surreal touches and influences from Vaudeville, the play evokes the subversive comedies of the Marx Brothers, using razor-sharp dialogue and chaotic situations that create an explosive mix of laughter and deeper reflection.
