The project “Koutroulis’ wedding”, written by Alexandros Rizos Ragavis in ??1843, will be presented directed by Giannis Kalatzopoulos.

The wealthy but with humble origin Emmanuel Koutroulis, a tailor from Syra, arrives in Athens accompanied by his roguish servant, Strovilis, determined to ask to marry the beautiful, ambitious and very younger of him, Anthousa, daughter of a prominent hotel owner, Mr.Spiros.

Anthousa has a secret relationship with the young Xanthoulis. Wanting to avoid this incongruous marriage without displeasing her father, demands from Koutroulis to leave tailoring and become a minister, something that cannot be done!

The love-struck Koutroulis begins then, with the help of his servant, to purchase and bribe supporters who will vote him. The competition of the Great Powers (England, France, Russia), the willingness of publishers to be bribed, the ease with which various party leaders change camp, the vanity of some artists, the extortions, scandals and of course the gullibility of the average modern Greek voters will make the miracle and in the end Koutroulis gets married to Anthousa. Everything seems to be going well until they reveal the fraud and the justice intervenes...
