The doughnuts will be distributed by our actors on Madách Square from 4 pm, and will be made on site by the dough-baking artisan Kaldi&Kaldi Bt.
We would like our audience to celebrate the season with us, and we will announce the anniversary programme after the season starts.
Örkény István Theatre
The Örkény István Theatre is an independent repertory theatre and one of the most important theatres in the country. Örkény is primarily a prose drama theatre, but our theatre is open to a wide variety of genres. Our repertoire has included more than a hundred works, from antiquity to contemporary works. Regardless of genre, we see the meaning of our work in our choice of high literature, in our careful rehearsals, in our openness to public issues, in our love of humour, grotesque and the many shades of irony. Our ten-year-old theatre education programme was one of the first in Hungary to open up a new channel for active, community-building engagement with audiences.
