The Stationmaster meets his Match

Bendegúz, the teenage boy who never succeeds in anything and about whom everybody's first though is "I wish you had been hanged after you were born!" drops out of school and becomes a cowboy. He works for the Stationmaster whose cows he has to graze by the railway. Despite his goodwill and kindheartedness he always manages to spoil everything he touches. No matter his wit, he gets into humiliating situations and regularly fights with the Ugly Witch (the Stationmaster's mother-in-law). However his good spirit and cheerfulness never leave him.

Sándor Rideg's novel (1939) and the film adaptation by Sándor Mihályfy (1979) has been a favourite of many generations.

The extremely funny story of Bendegúz has arrived to stage at last to entertain theatregoers as well.
