Coming Soon: Zorba’s Last Dance

10 – 14 June 2026 | Greek Centre

Zorba’s Last Dance asks the question many of us never thought about — what happened to Zorba after the story ended?

This powerful and thought-provoking theatre work brings the legendary Zorba face to face with his creator, Nikos Kazantzakis, in a moving clash between myth, memory and reality.

Blending drama, music and humour, the production explores identity, ageing, friendship and the stories we leave behind, all through one of Greek culture’s most iconic figures.
