The entanglement and grandiose plans for power are the best stimulant in a story of incredible misunderstandings and reversals.

The entire government of the state rests on a power socket...The play was staged at the then new venue "PIRAEUS 131" in 1998 and was played for 3 seasons "Unplug the Minister (1998)". The television show is from the 3rd season. It was re-aired on Star on Sunday, August 5, 2001 & Saturday, March 22, 2003

The personnel was composed mostly of soldiers, who already had experience in the film business in their civilian lives, as well as those who received their training in the army. The story may be only 95% true, but that is simply because the true story is even more absurd...
