Mary 'Effie'
Coustas
Speaker Profile
There are very few corporates that have not greatly benefited from the knowledge, charisma and inspirational quality that only a star of Effie's magnitude has. Here is your opportunity to take advantage of Effie... just don't tell her mother!
Whether it's staff self-esteem building, corporate dinners, awards nights, community uplifting, boardroom bonding, hypotheticals, debates or government bureaucratic finessing, Effie can be a mouthpiece, your soldier, a corporate and social carbonator extraordinaire. The long-term benefits are there for you to gain from. She can be yours for a price.
Effie is the Logie award winning creation of Mary Coustas, an actress and writer. Her beloved character of Effie became a cultural phenomenon after the success of Wogs Out of Work. The social significance of that theatre show gave birth to a many more: Acropolis Now, Wogarama, Waiting for Effie, Effie Just Quietly and Greeks on the Roof.
Mary's serious acting career has lead her to roles in feature films and TV series such as Grass Roots, Skirts and Wildside as well as roles on stage at the MTC and STC.
