The Theatre of János Ács. From Az óriáscsecsemő to Marat/Sade by István Sándor L. was published in 2022. The book explores the early period of János Ács’s life and directing up to 1982. It seeks to analyse the works of the first phase of his career as a theatre director by confronting contemporary critics with his own point of view. This is done with varying degrees of success throughout the book. Is it possible to examine the first period of a director’s career in isolation without looking at the later periods?
