Gábor Presser, Dusán Sztevanovity, and Péter Horváth’s cult musical The Attic (A Padlás) is returning to the stage in 2025 in several Hungarian cities, including Veresegyház, Miskolc, and Debrecen, performed by the Veres 1 Theatre (Veres 1 Színház) company. Set during a single night in 1988 at the tail end of communism, the story unfolds in a dusty attic in Budapest.
The Storyline
Radio Man (Rádiós), a cyberneticist turned “freelance intellectual,” has been dismissed from the state center for unauthorized attempts to contact aliens in 1986. Now living in the attic, he’s joined by four spirits: Kid (Kölyök), Prince (Herceg), Lantern (Lámpás), and Shover (Meglökő), each with their own past and unfinished business.
