About this audio guide
This guide to the Theatre of the Society for Macedonian Studies in Thessaloniki follows Sokratis Karantinos, the Athenian director handed the job of building a state theatre for northern Greece in nineteen sixty-one. It moves between a plan written against the clock, a hall across from the White Tower that was not ready on time, and a company sent out on the road. Best heard from the pavement outside the main doors, with the White Tower at your back.
