Upcoming Plays with English Subtitles at Csokonai National Theatre

Csokonai Theater Kossuth u. 10, Debrecen, Hungary

Csokonai National Theatre is offering the below plays arriving on the stage with English subtitles. 12 November, 13 December - Samuel Beckett: Waiting for Godot (drama) with English subtitles Every ten years, István Szabó K. directs Samuel Beckett's now-classic piece. According to his own admission, this piece acts as a type of reference point for him when it comes to understanding and digesting a period of waiting. While his 2004 production explored the absurdity of meaningless waiting, the 2014 adaptation examined the painful process of waiting for unavoidable annihilation; in 2024, the emphasis shifts to the search for identity—probing individual and collective memory in the hope of divine restitution. Director: István Szabó K. Location:Csokonai Forum, Kóti Árpád stage Age group:16+ Tickets:https://jegymester.hu/production/122085/godot-t-varva/12007664 20 November, 2 December - Kiss Csaba: Dangerous Liaisons with English subtitles "Never fall in love!"—with this apparently unkeepable bit of advice, Choderlos de Laclos' character, Vicomte de Valmont, firmly established himself in literary history. Valmont is one of the protagonists in Dangerous Liaisons, a novel that has spawned numerous film and theatre adaptations. For him, being in love goes against his basic nature: he enjoys causing pain, deception, and corrupting innocent people. This is especially true when he […]
