“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
