The artistic director of the National Theatre of Greece, Dimitris Lignadis, has left his post amid what he calls ‘a toxic climate of rumors… without even an official accusation.’

Lignadis, 56, submitted his resignation to the culture minister last weekend.

Athens has seen a spate of claims of sexual harrassment across sports and arts, but Lignadis has not been cited in any instance.
