The Örkény István Theater is an independent theater and one of the leading theaters in the country.
Örkény is primarily a prose drama theater, but our theater is open to a wide variety of genres. Our repertoire has included more than a hundred works, from antique to contemporary. Regardless of genre, we see the meaning of our work in our choice of high literature, in our careful rehearsals, in our openness to public issues, in our love of humor, grotesque and the many shades of irony.
The theater’s ten-year-old theater education program was one of the first in Hungary to open a new channel for active, community-building engagement with audiences.
