I Want to See the Pope! by Theophrastos Sakellaridis (1883-1950), creator of The Godson – the most popular Greek operetta of all time –, is a work exploring contemporary urban themes, where the foundations of bourgeois life are undermined and the institution of family is strongly questioned. Following the genre’s standards, Sakellaridis exhibits exceptional musico-theatrical resourcefulness in portraying his characters, who sabotage the constants of family life.
