| Description |
Maria Irene Forne's dream-like play the Danube, like the river itself, resonates with romantic, emotional and political images. Paul an American soldier in Budapest, marries Eve, a young Hungarian student. They become ill. They must leave... it is the structure, form and the allegorical references rather than the story which are the important components of this play. |
