The Curse, or the Guiltless Sinners : Playbook of an unknown tragedy by Mihály Wándza ----- The manuscript (20x25cm size, 117 pages) of the unknown tragedy signed by the signficant Transylvanian actor, writer, designer, director, theatre director and painter, Mihály Wándza, was found by me in the Széchényi Library. Although there are quite certain dates of several plays written by Mihály Wándza, this is the first of his first playtexts that has been found. The themes of the tragedy (called a Trauerspiel by its writer) vary from changelings, love between siblings, mistaken identites, inevitability of fate, madness, crime and punishment, revenge and late recognitions, disruption of private, public and natural (cosmic) order. The tragedy is in fact a labyrinth of lost, confused, offended, chased, abused or revengeful identities. Like in any tragedy of fate, there are well identifiable technical ingredients: special settings like dungeon, ruined castle, cave, forest, crypt and tower, special motives like spirits and ghosts, old witch, hermit, robbers, hallucinations, nightmares, hunting, duel, madness, and special animals and objects like the owl, deer, snail, snake and wolf on the one hand, and spades, swords, crosses, cubes, poison and sleeping potion, stones, ruined remnants of food, blood, altar, shrine, deathbed, etc. Greek tragedies, chivalry romances, German Sturm und Drang stlye novellas, Gothic horror plays, Shakespearean tragedies, Kotzebue-ian sentimentalism and Schillerian tension of the ideal, the naturalistic and the real constitute all possible sources of the tragedy. Looking at the main plot, the timing of the drama in one single day, the use of the choir, the earthquake motive and the general style, Wándza may have followed Schiller’s Bride of Messina. However, the Hungariain author must have learnt a lot from having directed and designed elaborate Macbeths and other Shakespearean plays, as The Curse abounds in visually haunting scenes. Moreover, Wándza doubles the plotline of the Bride, placing two rival feudal families, two generations and several secondary characters also in the focus of his play. The tragedy is full of Gothic horror scenes, but it also contains anti-romance, even grotesque elements. There are no markings coming from a censor, owner or prompter in the playbook. It is curious why Wándza did not stage this play of his, since all his other plays were succesfully performed. This study aims at presenting and evaluating the found drama and its versatile author.
