Cardboard Papa

A father, mother and teenage daughter are visiting a widowed relative to show their support. However, the aunt arrives in good spirits, accompanied by her son and a cardboard cut-out of her husband. How can you share a dining table with someone who clings to their delusion at all costs? For how long can you maintain it – and should you? How long can you hide from reality? By the time dessert is served, the younger generation has started asking provocative questions and the façade is beginning to crumble. This black comedy comes from the pen of playwright István Tasnádi, former court playwright of the cult Hungarian independent theatre company Krétakör.
