A Theatre for Dreamers
In 1960s Greece, eighteen-year-old Erica flees her controlling father in London for the bohemian enclave of Hydra — a small Aegean island where artists, writers, and musicians have built an unconventional life. There she becomes entangled with a circle of real figures who lived there at the time: actress Charmian Clift, poet George Johnston, painter Axel Jensen, and a young Leonard Cohen. As Erica navigates this vibrant, troubled community, her own story of self-discovery unfolds against their stories of ambition, loss, and artistic obsession.
