The Guardsman by FERENC MOLNAR translated by FRANK MARCUS
In this ingenious marital comedy which also investigates questions of Identity and role play,
Nandor, an idolised actor, disguises himself as a guardsman in order to test the fidelity of his wife, Ilona. However, when Ilona falls for the handsome stranger, without apparently seeing through his disguise, Nandor Increasingly identifies with the guardsman instead of the betrayed husband. Budapest: 1910
MARY NASH (piano)
Directed by GLYN DEARMAN
