Dataset Info:

This dataset is a digital archive of Greek press coverage related to the National Theater of Greece, compiled from the institution’s official publications archive (https://www.nt-archive.gr/publications).

The collection documents the public and critical reception of productions staged by the National Theatre of Greece across multiple historical periods, including reviews, interviews, features, opinion pieces, announcements, and broader theatre commentary published in the Greek press.
