“First one to reach home wins?”
London, 1974. Pedro, a young Portuguese immigrant, crosses paths with Maria, a young woman from Cyprus, as her homeland faces the turmoil of invasion. Together, they confront personal choices during the profound changes sweeping their respective countries.
‘74 captures a pivotal moment in history, exploring the intersection of two lives against a backdrop of political upheaval and transformation. Marking the 50th anniversary of the Turkish occupation of Cyprus and the Carnation Revolution in Portugal, the play reflects on events that forever changed the histories of these two countries.
