Debrecen University Drama Festival, May 16-18, 2019

CALL for Students’ Theatre Performances in English

11th Debrecen University Drama Festival invites university student groups’ English-language theatre productions to be presented in Debrecen between 16 and 18 May 2019.
A truly special event, this festival revives the highly successful Annual Festival of Drama in English, launched in 1999 and run till 2010 by the Institute of English and American Studies, University of Debrecen (called Lajos Kossuth University till 2000).
