A "dissection of the male psyche",[13] the production commanded a large of amount of Greek press attention, not least for its open references to homosexuality.[14] 2 proved a commercial success; its run was extended twice and over 100,000 tickets were sold in total.The work seems to draw upon a range of influences, including the work of Jean Genet, René Magritte and Robert Wilson. Inspiration for the show also came partly from Papaioannou's experiences as a gay man in Greece.[15] Contemporary magazine described 2 as an "inspiring" work that "captures the zeitgeist".[16]A DVD of 2, produced and directed for the screen by Athina Rachel Tsangari of HAOS FILM, was released on 11 December 2007 by Elliniki Theamaton and Modern Times.From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitris_Papaioannou(2002) His play, "2," was performed at the Eclipse Theatre Company in Chicago, Illinois with Steven Fedoruk in the cast.
