A hattyú : Vígjáték három felvonásban

Set amid the elegant gardens of a Hungarian princely estate, this three‑act comedy opens in a sun‑drenched pavilion where a young teacher, Ági, leads a lively lesson for the noble heirs. The discussion quickly veers from a solemn recounting of Napoleon’s legacy to a tongue‑in‑cheek dispute over how history should be taught, revealing the children’s sharp wit and the underlying tensions of a family once stripped of its throne. Through rapid dialogue and playful sarcasm, the cast of aristocrats, servants, and distant relatives sketches a portrait of a household caught between reverence for the past and the restless ambition of the present.

As the debate escalates, secret alliances and hidden grievances surface, hinting at a larger struggle for power that will shape the characters’ futures. The humor lies in the clash of lofty ideals with petty insecurities, while the setting—a richly detailed castle with gardens that spill into the city—provides a vivid backdrop for the drama. Listeners are drawn into a world where history, pride, and family intrigue mingle, promising a witty and emotionally resonant theatrical experience.
