A conservative Athenian businessman is raising his young daughters and hoping that their shyness and lack of social finesse won’t prevent them from making good marriages. In walks his slightly loopy sister (Georgia Vasileiadou) who has been living in Chicago for many years and has come for a visit. In no time flat, she has done a thorough job of cleaning the ladies up and finding some very interesting ways in which to get them all married off without much ado. The story plays out with freshness and vitality thanks to the performers.
