| Teodor Surcel returns in Gloomy Sunday |
Once sung by blues queen Billie Holiday, Rudi Seress's most famous song, Gloomy Sunday, is said to have precipitated suicides all over the world.
This story, on which the highly successful Art House film is based, is set in the seventh district of Budapest between and during the
wars and weaves together recollected scenes from Seress's life. In essence it is the story of a small Jewish man who lives through some
of the world's greatest events.
Teodor Surcel (a native of Transylvania, Romania) graduated from the Academy of Theatre, of Cluj-Napoca (the Cultural Capital of
Transylvania). He has worked in his homeland and on other European stages such as the Almeida Theatre in London and the Red Hall
in Weimar, Germany. Since Teodor came to N.Z. in 2000 he has appeared at The Court Theatre in COPENHAGEN, OTHELLO, MY FAIR LADY,
THE BIG O.E., THE CHERRY ORCHARD, GLOOMY SUNDAY and GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Last year, at The Court Teodor directed and performed in
THE LESSON, by Eugen Ionesco.
The Christchurch Press said: It is exceedingly well done. The play belongs to Teodor Surcel who again turns in an outstanding performance. Gloomy Sunday is well worth a visit. It's a fascinating story, clearly told.
For a strictly limited repeat season from 13th April to 23rd April 2005 -- Court Two Tue, Wed, Fri and Sat at 8:15pm, Mon and Thu at 6:15pm

Politica ambigua a adoptiilor internationale care a produs pana acum nenumarate scandaluri ajunge si in presa din Noua Zeelanda.
Iani Lingurar se intoarce in Romania. Oare pentru totdeauna?
Trei articole in doua zile in ziarul cu cel mai mare tiraj din Noua Zeelanda, descriind soarta "trista" a lui
Iani care se intoarce in Romania (probabil intr-un orfelinat) impreuna cu
Alana Cleland
care l-a crescut in ultimii patru ani si este hotarata sa lupte impotriva birocratiei,
vor face cu siguranta opinia publica foarte sensibila.
Situatia este complexa din multe puncte de vedere si este urmarita cu foarte mult interes.
