In person, you can see why Mary Coustas has been so well loved since her 1980s debut. She’s absolutely magnetic as Effie, the money-hungry, laughably stereotypical “good Greek girl” with big hair. Her stage presence is unbelievable – Coustas is a seasoned performer and a pleasure to watch. A Date With Effie is an insight into the world of Effie with child, and her unsuccessful adventures in trying to nail down a husband. Watching Coustas strut around stage, never missing a beat, you can see she’ll be around for a while yet.
