Synopsis

A group of young people involved in sex, drugs and petty crime meet big-time Mafiosi against the backdrop of semi-underworld Budapest today. None of the characters seems to know what he or she is doing, yet still they try to cheat one another and their own fate. A dry, quirky, fast, rude and at times extremely funny snapshot of the urban scene in Hungary today.

This version is from a literal translation by Katalin Trencsényi and David Evans and was part of the National Theatre's Channels (Hungary) season of rehearsed readings, initiated by the NT Studio and performed in the Cottesloe Theatre in June 2004.

About the Author

Writer, actor and director Ché Walker's punchy, urban writing brought him high praise for The Frontline, the first contemporary play to be staged at Shakespeare's Globe. Walker won the George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright in 2003 and the Arts Council England Writer's Award for Drama, in the same year. "Ché Walker's snapshot of inner-city life fizzes with life and has a heart so big and soppy you want to hug it." - Guardian on The Frontline
