Theatre Y is proud to present
Andras Visky’s Juliet at the 2007 New
York Fringe Festival. This play is a shocking,
honest account of one family’s frail integrity under Communism. Andras Visky is an ethnic Hungarian, who was
born in 1957 in Targu Mures,
Romania. He
spent his early childhood in a Communist gulag, along with his mother and
siblings, while his father, a minister in the Hungarian Reformed Church, was in
prison elsewhere. A political dissident by birth, Andras Visky headed up the underground university during communism, and has been his own cause for endless interrogation and imprisonment. Andras has become an acclaimed writer, poet, and essayist: He is the dramaturg of the State Hungarian Theatre in Cluj, Romania, and an associate professor in aesthetics at the University of Babes-Bolyai, also in Cluj. His play, Juliet, has been playing in Budapest since the fall of 2002 at the Thalia Theatre. A Romanian adaptation opened at the Romanian National Theatre in Cluj last fall. Both the Hungarian and Romanian productions were directed by their countries most acclaimed directors. One of the radio productions of Juliet won at a festival in Berlin in 2005.
This English production has toured across the U.S. and Eastern Europe for the past year, and has now been invited to the 2007 New York Fringe Festival. Join us in welcoming Juliet to New York!
