Vígszínház performances with English surtitles
3 October to 29 November

Fourteen performances across thirteen dates carry English surtitles, which is the easy way into a Hungarian repertory company. Pride and Prejudice, Chaplin's The Great Dictator, The Great Gatsby, Chekhov's The Seagull, the family musical Pinocchio and the song cycle Sommerreise are all marked for them.

The Great Dictator is the Chaplin film staged by Enikő Eszenyi, Miklós Vecsei H. and Róbert Vörös, with Eszenyi directing, three hours. The Great Gatsby, a musical by Adrián Kovács, Miklós Vecsei H. and Attila Vidnyánszky Jr., runs two hours fifty-five minutes, and David Doiasvili's The Seagull, a comedy, three hours forty. Sommerreise, a song cycle with Csilla Radnay in the Víg Szalon, is played in English with English and Hungarian surtitles.
