The Markideion Theatre opened on the 18th November 2017 with a show featuring the actress Charlotte Rampling presenting works by the poets Marguerite Yourcenar and Constantine Cavafy.

Under the auspices of the Festival Committee the theatre will go on to present further shows this year.

During the course of carrying out the initial contract Multistage received an additional order to install a further six counterweight sets, additional lighting equipment and a paging system; all of this was installed and commissioned before opening.

A bespoke Acoustic Shell is currently under manufacture for imminent shipping to Cyprus.  Multistage will be returning in the New Year to install this.

It is with great sadness that we inform you of the retirement of our Project Director, John Tune.  John was instrumental in the founding of Multistage International Limited back in January 2001 and many of you will have known and worked with John much before then. 
John started his career in the theatre industry way back in 1959 when he was employed by Connaught Theatre, Worthing as an Assistant Electrician having completed an Electrical Engineering Course at West Sussex College of Further Education.  John moved to a number of different theatres working his way up to Senior Audio Visual Engineer then during the 1970's and 1980's John spent much time in the Middle East working on and overseeing electrical and mechanical theatre installations.  But it was whilst working on the Royal Theatre, Thessolaniki, Greece in 1998 that the partnership with Atlas Pantou, Cyprus came about and at the end of the project, Multistage International was established.
With nearly 50 years working in the theatre industry John's knowledge and expertise has been invaluable to the Company but we wish him and his family all the very best for a much deserved retirement.
