If you follow my blog this summer, you will get a great guide to the European Capital of Culture. My hometown, Pecs, was nominated and selected for this title and from June onwards is hosting a string of cultural events. Since I am back home, and will be participating in most of these events, I will try to pick out the best ones.
The spotlight this week is the National Theatre Festival, now in its tenth year. The best Magyar companies, both in and outside the country, come to Pecs for this competition. I couldn't believe when I saw the program; they show four plays that I actually teach in my world literature courses. (two Gogol pieces, and two Chekhov plays)
