It’s not Only Stars that Glitter…
“Fairyland is just one step away, and its gate is open.
Scroll with us over there, where there’s a lot of fun.
Turf-cake in your haversack, the journey leads us far away.
And in a script, the scones baked in the ashes… ”

All Inclusive Bloomsday Break
“All Inclusive Bloomsday Break” is a new, entertaining attempt to portray the Hungarian aspects of Ulysses and Joyce’s life – this time through a modern partnership. The story of the two young men reflected in many respects the relationship between the novelist Bloom and Molly and the author Joyce and Nora. They also want to find out whether their love overcomes the distance between their country’s traditions and culture.

Chapter Two
The grieving writer is chased by women. The
divorced actress is entrenching herself into work.
They won’t ever hear of love. However, a swapped
phone number brings them together.
Can they get rid of the chains of their past? Can two
miracles fit in one life? Can they take their second
chance? And what happens with the two tenacious
procurers, who also get bitten over each other.
All turns out from the romantic comedy
successfully running in Hungary too – this time in
the presentation of the Hungarian-Irish Theatre.

BUD-DUB
As the title suggests, the letters of the two cities are the mirror shapes of each other, but it would be too easy to believe that life forms could be interchanged between the capitals. Which makes more sense? Looking for better working conditions, goals, or change for someone who is unconcerned in your homeland or love? How long can you drag and keep your origins? What is the risk? How fast can you “sweep” home memories? A humorous and grotesque story about a Hungarian boy coming to Dublin in Budapest to create a happy home for the future.
