Szeretlek: A Hungarian Love Story

The Grand Salto Theatre—Rachel Browne Theatre

This was very enjoyable. The loving interplay between the two lovers is especially charming as they are married in real life. The dancing was well done and the script was perfectly written. They dance beautifully together. They try to teach the audience a dance and a phrase in Hungarian. The costuming was well thought out and very effective in getting the feeling of the era across.

This is a true story based on her grandmother’s dalliance with a dashing new man. Recordings of her grandmother’s voice relating the tale are interspersed throughout, and this adds to the warmth of the play. They worked hard to bring us this and the effort was a success. I will watch for them in the future.
