Dead Poets Society – Thessaloniki

Akis Sakellariou plays John Keating, the unconventional professor we all wish we had. Tasos Chalkias plays the role of the conservative principal Nolan and Gerasimos Skafidas plays the role of the tragic father Mr. Perry.

With them – most importantly – are the students, the core of the play, made up of an elite company of talented actors of the new generation.

“We don’t read or write poetry to look eccentric! We read and write poetry because we belong to the human race and the human race is overflowing with passion! Medicine, law, business administration – yes, these are respected professions, necessary for life to go on… But poetry, romance, beauty, love! -these are what keep us alive!”
