Since the summer of 1999, the previously free company, the Chalk Circle Theatre, has been working as an independent theatre company. Their primary aim is to carry out projects which deal with unique problems in a unique way. Their first performance, Love, or What You Will draws on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (What You Will). Attila Lőrinczy, a young dramatist, adapted the play, which, completed by the actors' improvisation, is put on stage.
Love is in the centre of the performance – or, more precisely, that emotional 'marshland' which we call love. Love can be a pretext, a hobby, the means of revenge, but hardly ever a joyous moment. They create a satirical world within a tale. They do not insult anybody but themselves, which, as they hope, gives the audience a good time.
'Stage-chaos free after Shakespeare.' Every move of the promise is kept. They play – not in extent but considering the main point – only one half of the story. One of the twins is missing. The whole thing without that twin brother is as if a bridge was built only from one bank of the river until the whole thing tumbles down into the water, since it does not have anything on the other side to lean on. But perhaps that is why it is a play of today. You do not know where things start and where they are heading to. You only know the outside appearances, the surface of behaviour ... why is Shakespeare here, then? As a 'crutch' which they throw away in the end? His role is more than that. Of course it helps out the lack of story but rather serves as a basis for comparison. Once there used to be stories, dramas, heroes and heroines. Once this planet was inhabited by the real human.'
