The Hungarian cabaret is celebrating its 100th anniversary. It was in 1907 that Endre Nagy created, or to be more exact, naturalised this art form in a venue called Bonbonnière. His name became synonymous with cabaret in the following decades; so much so that people went to what they called the „nagyendre” in the evenings. Péter Kárpáti’s new drama recalls this world and its creator, who was deprived of his theatre at the height of success, and even betrayed by his company. Kárpáti’s play has not been written as celebration, or as a documentary, or even as a taste of art history. The backbone of the story is made up of the personal drama, the tragedy arising from discrepancies of talent and ambition, as well as the never fading stories of intrigue and betrayal behind the scenes.
