Based on a translation by Imre Kurdi, the comic version was produced by Hilda Hársing and Péter Rudolf
It is a mystery why this small town in the middle of Europe, with its great potential, went bankrupt. The factories have closed down, the popular resort town is deserted and the bell of the cathedral has been seized by the bailiff. The streets are dirty and neglected, the citizens have been living on the dole for years while the country and Europe as a whole are booming. It is then that Claire Zachanassian, a billionaire known for her philanthropy, announces that she is visiting her hometown after forty years. The hope that she will save the city is rekindled, and Claire agrees to do so, but with one condition...
Vígszínház
The Vígszínház is one of the most historic and popular theatres in Budapest. Its three venues (the Main Stage, the House Stage Studio and Chamber, the Pest Theatre) have a total of more than 1700 seats. The theatre is also known as the cradle of modern Hungarian bourgeois drama, with famous authors such as Jenő Heltai, Sándor Bródy, Dezső Szomory, Menyhért Lengyel, Ernő Szép, Sándor Hunyady, Ferenc Herczeg, and others. In the 21st century, the majority of the world's theatres with large auditoriums have lost a good part of their audience. Despite this trend, the premieres of the Vígszínház are successful, and its performances are well attended. The theatre is located on the Újlipótváros side of Szent István körút in Budapest.
