Stephen Berkoff’s one-act play Lunch was first presented in Greece by Persona Theatre Company at Dipylon Theatre in Athens in February-March 2005, sponsored by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

A man and a woman meet on an unnamed beach, exchanging experiences and emotions about a life that they gradually ask to live through each other. Berkoff’s violently versatile language captures the ultimate mental and psychological alienation of people today. Written with a biting sense of humor combined with tenderness and cynicism, it is the contemporary existential play par excellence.
