play

In the mountain village where the waters of the River Styx flow, the young Golfo and Tassos swear eternal love to one another. True to her word, Golfo rejects a nobleman who wishes to marry her, but Tassos breaks his oath and agrees to wed a rich young woman instead. When he changes his mind, it is too late and the forces of destiny continue to their inevitable conclusion. Linked with the historical tradition of travelling theatre troupes, Golfo is almost synonymous with this aspect of Greek theatre. However, despite its unusual language and localised character, Peresiadiss play is charged with emotion and technically is every bit as proficient as dramas from better-known names. Romantic rivalries, moral dilemmas and heartrending choices run through this important example of Greek theatrical heritage. Nikos Karathanos and his cast and crew approach Golfo with sensitivity and reveal it to be a genuine theatrical gem. Source: www.n-t.gr/en/events/oldevents/golfw_

Golfo is a 1914 Greek silent film directed by Konstadinos Bahatoris. It is the first Greek feature film. It was based on a popular Greek bucolic play written by Spyridon Peresiadis. Plot Tasos is a young shepherd in love with Golfo and intends to marry her. However, the rich shepherdess Stavroula with the help of her father manages to lure him with the promise of a dowry. Eventually he realises his mistake and returns to Golfo, but she has poisoned herself. Driven by guilt, Tasos commits suicide. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golfo

Looks kind of like Clyde St.

Agricola St, down near the commons? I think those two houses still exist there.

Thanks Allison McKinnon ! A look at Google streetview doesn't match up this interesting dormer window/chimney combination in that area of Agricola.

Those are similar to Clyde Street houses, w_colleen , but Clyde feels like a narrower street than this. Any other clues?

Someone who used to live in the area has emailed us to suggest this is 2447-2443 Creighton Street, east-side between Charles and what is now Buddy Daye St. All the homes except the one on the left (2447?) would now be gone; that building is currently green in Google street view and does look similar to the 1950s one, but it is not so obviously the same that we're still going to ask others if this looks like Creighton St. What do you think? www.google.com/maps/place/2443+Creighton+St,+Halifax,+NS+...
