At Theatro Technis, Justin Butcher wrote and directed The Madness of George Dubya - ignored by most critics until it transferred to the West End." To serve the “educational and cultural needs” of the Cypriot Greek and Greek communities of the UK, and which was the original raison d`etre by its founder George Eugeniou, and a group of fellow actors and creatives: 1) staging dramas that explored the socio-economic, immigration and refugee concerns that impact this community, revealing the trauma of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the ethnic cleansing that ensued and its tragic aftermath. Hosting the London Greek Film Festival in conjunction with ERT1 TV and the Thessaloniki Film Festival. Originally founded in 1957 by George Eugeniou and a group of actors five decades ago, Theatro Technis first started its work in an old unused warehouse located in the backyard of King's Cross. Then after a monumental struggle and continued threats to its existence, in 1978, it finally found its permanent home in an old Church building where it has flourished into a centre of multi-faceted and multi-cultural activities.
