Kosztolányi Dezső „Édes Anna” című regényének színpadi adaptációja a Marosvásárhelyi Nemzeti Színház Tompa Miklós Társulatának előadásában
The novel “Édes Anna” by Dezső Kosztolányi at the National Theatre in Marosvásárhely − the performance of Miklós Tompa Company

Summary/Abstract: “Édes Anna”, the novel by the famous Hungarian writer Dezső Kosztolányi, written in 1926, has had twenty-seven stage adaptations throughout the Carpatian Basin in Hungarian. It is about a female servant in the 1920’s in Budapest, who serves at a middle-classed family, and finally she kills her masters. On the 19th of September 2003, the Miklós Tompa Company of the National Theatre of Târgu-Mureș staged their own adaptation of the novel which was directed by László Gali, based on the script by Tibor Solténszky. This adaptation had already been staged in Komárom two years earlier. What were the particularities of the performance in Târgu-Mureș? In my paper I will outline this question in the context of other Édes Anna adaptations and show the peculiarities of this one in light of Hungarian theatre history, that are not sufficiently visible at first sight.
