Contemporary European Dramas on Hungarian Stages: the Secret of Succes

Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the presentation and success of contemporary European plays on Hungarian stages. The first part presents the most popular playwrights played in Hungary and the themes of their plays. The second part of the study is an analysis of the so called “yuppie-plays” based on the presentation of three of these kind of plays: Top dogs by Volker Hesse, Push Up by Roland Schimmelpfennig and Before Rain/After Rain by Gesine Danckwart. In conclusion we try to answer the question whether the success of these contemporary texts will last for a long period in the history of drama or they are just successful because of the trend.
