Martinászok polgári köntösben : A magyar termelési dráma Mándi Éva Hétköznapok hősei című műve alapján

Abstract

Éva Mándi’s play Everyday Heroes premiered in November 1949 in the Budapest Inner City Theatre. While this was the first time in the history of Hungarian theatre that a hyper-realistic iron foundry and foundry workers were presented on the stage of an urban theatre, the play and its performance still follow the beats of a pre-war society comedy both in dramaturgy and diction, even though the coda doesn’t feature the reunion and marriage of lovers, but the triumph of increased production.
