Abstract

Summary Publication of a Greek play ‘Adiakritos Mousafiris’ (‘The Inconsiderate Guest’) written by Dr Constantine Kyriazopoulos, who migrated to Australia from Greece in 1902, in 1917. A one act social comedy of manners, it was published in 1923 by A. Pallis Publications, and considered to be the first play written by a Greek migrant in Australia. In 1916, Constantine’s wife Antigoni had assisted in establishing the Melbourne Greek Women’s Society, and as president she instigated the staging of Constantine’s play in Melbourne in 1917, in aid of the Greek War Orphans’ Relief Fund at the Masonic Hall, Melbourne.
