Budapest's acclaimed Katona József Theatre company shares opening night honors with Le Théâtre du Soleil - and makes its New York debut - at the Lincoln Center Festival. Award-winning director Tamás Ascher, whose previous productions of Chekhov have toured widely to stellar reviews, has staged this production of Ivanov, a study of a once-idealistic man turned apathetic, in Hungary during the 1960s and 1970s, a choking, depressing world that mirrors the soul of the title character.
