To mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, this theatrical adaptation brings to life the true story of Phylactis Aristokleous, a Greek Cypriot sergeant in the British Army during WWII. Based on his never-seen-before memoirs, the 30 minute monologue (inclusive of a short lecture) explores resilience, camaraderie, and survival in a prisoner-of-war camp through vivid storytelling, physicality, and drama.

Translated from Greek and tailored for all audiences (including students), Memoirs of a P.O.W. offers a poignant, age-appropriate glimpse into history, highlighting themes of courage and humanity.

The performance sparks conversations about wartime experiences and the enduring power of hope.

This is included within the standard museum admission. Performances will be held across the day.
