Lemmentaistelu: 4-näytöksinen unkarilainen näytelmä

Set against the golden dawn of the Hungarian plains, the play opens in front of a bustling tavern at Hortobágy. The stage is alive with the clatter of horses, the rustle of vines on crumbling walls, and the first notes of folk songs that drift from the tavern’s windows. A chorus of villagers—shepherds, a horse‑dealer, a painter, a magistrate and a lively cart boy—assemble, their banter already painting a vivid portrait of rural community life.

The cart boy’s plaintive verses reveal a youthful heart tangled in longing, while the older men argue over the merits of prized cattle and the upcoming market. Their humor is earthy and rapid, mixing boastful boasts about “the finest bulls” with playful jibes that set the tone for a story steeped in tradition, rivalry, and budding affection. Listeners are invited to step into a world where song, dance, and everyday drama intertwine beneath the wide sky of the plains.
