The play was adopted from the novel Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes. Attila Gonczy first premiered this role 12 years ago in Budapest, telling the story of Charlie and Algernon.

Charlie's wildly unstable emotional journey as his intelligence skyrockets after the surgery, only to later deteriorate again. Audiences have been captivated as Attila Gonczy portrays Charlie's struggles to adapt to his new mind, isolation amid prejudice, and relationship with Mrs. Kinnian that is strained by their intellectual differences.
