- **Event Name**: 'Tiger at the Gates' by Jean Giradoux, adapted by Christopher Fry
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 09:25 pm (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: 'Tiger at the Gates' is a darkly comedic retelling of the story of the Trojan War.

After Paris has abducted Helen, Hector is trying to do everything he can to prevent the war with the Greeks. He negotiates with his family, the city elders, Helen, and the Greek ambassadors. But the forces of fate and people’s folly stand in his way.

The play explores themes of pacifism, war, desire, and destiny. Written after World War I and right before the outbreak of World War II, it is a brutal indictment of those who crave war and all those who fail to stop it
