10 years after its Brussels world premiere, the Proton Theatre's production Hard to Be a God will be presented at the Gyula Castle Theater Summer Festival.

After numerous guest performances around Europe and overseas, this marks the first Hungarian showing of the play based on a novel by the Strugatsky brothers to take place outside of Budapest. One of the country’s most diverse festivals dedicated to total art, the storied summer event will feature numerous musical and dramatic productions, pop and classical concerts along with the July 20 debut of Kornél Mundruczó’s work.
