Play in three acts, a prologue and an epilogue by Eugen Mirea and György Kovács

Artistic director: Dan Alecsandrescu
Decor: Valeriu Moisescu
Costumes: Eliza Popescu
Premiere date: March 31, 1961

Apparently related in theme to the famous Shakespearean creation "Romeo and Juliet", the play "The Last Train" discusses the issue of chauvinism and the ways of ethnic coexistence in Romania. Tiberiu Vlad, Apáthy Aladár and the widow Szabó Elisabeta, convinced nationalists, maintain through deeds and attitudes the tension, the harmful hatred between their families, different primarily by their ethnic affiliation. The love of the young Szabó Imre and Claudia Vlad, inexperienced, innocent and impressionable, will painfully collide with this wall of non-communication.

 "The Last Train" becomes a metaphor for this life-destroying attitude, which will necessarily be replaced by a new mentality, by the conviction that ethnic harmony can and will become a reality.
