“I could not have written a better play I most certainly never will” – wrote Molière about

The Misantrophe which was put on by his acting company in 1666. “The Misantrophe

should be rewritten every five years” – said Diderot a century later.

Katona puts the play on for the second time; the first performance premiered in 1988 and

it was directed by Gábor Székely, the first artistic director of the theatre.

 

Duration: 1 hour and 40 minutes, without intermission.

 

Premiere: 7 January 2011
