Rehearsal for Truth and The New Stage Theatre Company present " The Bat".
Directed by Ildiko Nemeth
With Sarah Lemp, Adam Boncz and Natasha Babenko
Sound by Attila Patkos
In a kindergarten changing room, a rubber bat vanishes into thin air, setting off a chain of events of suspicion and soon resentment among the parents. What begins as mild distrust soon turns into full-blown hatred. Throughout a series of scenes of the mundane yet deeply resonant struggles of everyday life, the story unfolds into a darkly humorous tale of absurdity from Central and Eastern Europe. Against the backdrop of this comedic chaos lies a poignant tragedy, underscoring the stark realities of contemporary Hungary. "The Bat" offers a biting commentary on Hungarian Society, navigating us through hatred, accusations, suspicion, and ultimately, sorrow.
We are looking forward to seeing You, Your Friends and Family at Hungarian House of New York on Friday, May 31 at 7:30 pm.
