"Hungarian theatre, it seems, is always shaken by A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the sixties by Brook, and in '94 by Csányi."
Katalin Budai

"Climb on to the swing if you love the theatre and appreciate its importance. And definitely climb on if you are fed up of the theatre - as it is - to rekindle your enthusiasm." Adrienn Dömötör
