PSYCHE

The one woman show will be performed three times (8th, 10th, and 16th of December) at the Etcetera Theatre by Stella Abel.

The show is based on the book “Psyche: Writings of an Erstwhile Poetess” by the Hungarian author Sandor Weores written in 1972 under the Soviet regime of Hungary as a pamphlet of censorship. The story is about a gypsy countess and poet (the alter ego of the author) wandering across Europe during the Napoleonic era in a chauvinistic society, challenging her independence.

Directed by Mark Tarnoki, “PSYCHE” had a successful run in Budapest at the University of Theatre and Film Arts (SZFE) in 2019.

This time it will be a British-Hungarian co-production, translated by David Cseh and produced by Steve Green, to introduce a Central and Eastern European cultural heritage to an English speaking audience.
