Abstract
In the late 1980s, Nicolae Ceauşescu’s regime in Romania had severely affected Hungarian-language actor training. It was in this milieu that, in 1991, the first large class of fourteen students began their studies at the Szentgyörgyi István Theatre Institute in Târgu Mureş. One of their final exam performances, Molière’s Tartuffe, was directed by Gábor Tompa, the director of the Hungarian State Theatre in Cluj, in 1994. According to his approach, the essence of interpreting the work, as in the case of Hamlet, is provided by the theatre-within-theatre idea; the drama centres on Orgon’s tragedy and also gives significant importance to Tartuffe’s servant, Lőrinc. This highly successful exam performance launched the careers of the leading artists of today’s Hungarian-language theatre. Tompa repeated this same concept in 1996 in a performance at the Thália Theatre in Budapest.
