The play, which premiered at the Barka Theatre in Budapest, is called Haydn's Crane. Actually, it is not a play, but a postmodernist game of art, play, words, death and God, something without story, characters or dialogue. Esterhazy is definitely not a good playwright. The text has no dramatic or post-dramatic structure, only funny monologues and lines - bon mots one would remember as jokes. Still, the show is very theatrical, with live music, some funny scenes, good lines and some good acting as well.
