Pálffy Tibor – Best actor in a supporting role at the Pécs National Theatre Festival Pécs, Hungary (2008). Pálffy Tibor – Theatre critic’s award for best actor in a supporting role, Hungary (2008). Nominated to five UNITER awards in 2009 (best performance, best director, best set design, best male actor – Mátray László, best actor in a supporting role – Pálffy Tibor). The performance has been presented on tour in Budapest (may 2008) and Bucharest (february 2010), television recordings being made by the Duna Television and TVR Cultural.
It is the kind of performance, after which, before you start to applaude, you wipe your eyes discretely. And you shut up.
(Alice Georgescu, Ziarul de duminică)
László Bocsárdi created a colourful, rich performance with ambivalent meaning, using the different effects with egregious self-confidence. (...) But Yvonne is even pointing beyond itself: it depicts a theatrical language in its process of crystallization and an ensemble
that employs that language with devotion and professional surety.
(Balázs Urbán, Színház)
