ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Prelude
Lipitlotty and Tipptopp, two worthless gavallers, compete against each other to win the hands and fortunes of the wealthy but old shopkeeper, widow Karnyón, and sometimes make fun of the charm of the living woman. Kuruzs, the doorman merchant, fortune teller, chaplain, and occasional poet, offers them his services.Act I
In Mrs. Karnyón’s shop, Samuka, the landlord’s half-naked son, plays with Lazarus, who runs the business forever. The incoming Karnyón instructs Lazarus to prepare the material for another outfit for my fashion monkey Lipitlotty. Even though Lazarus lists Lipitlotty’s debts so far, the old woman in love won’t even hear. He pays even more attention to Lipitlotty’s honey-glazed courtship, and when he leaves, he gallstates for a long time. The two gavallers run into each other in front of the shop; first they discuss fashion, then Lipitlotty carelessly tells Tipptopp what numbers he did in the lottery. Tipptopp enters the store resolutely, but in vain does Mrs. Karnyó, who is waiting to be courted, laughs at her courage and winds up quickly. The frustrated woman’s maid, Borison, fills her anger. But Boris is easily comforted when the stealth Tipptopp asks: jump on your wife with Lipitlotty and help her get out of the way. At the same time, he promises that if the rich widow falls asleep for the better, she will share the inheritance with Boris. Kuruzs also joins in their happy planning.II. act
Lipitlotty then jumps out of his skin as his numbers are drawn in the lottery. He is getting ready to travel to Pest. But first you have to calm down Karnyón, who already suspects her of Tipptopp’s deception. After the old woman eased and tore off Lipitlotty’s debentures, she immediately moved on. She is preparing to commit suicide in the grief of the desperate Mrs. Karnyón. He misses Samuka in the pharmacy for mouse poison. However, the foolish boy talks about his mission to Tipptopp, who, to keep his plan from crashing, replaces the poison with sleeping pills. But in the meantime, he knows: his furman has succeeded, as he has exposed the false lottery numbers favorable to Lipitlotty. Mrs. Karnyón bids farewell to life, but her tragedy turns into comedy. As everyone tries to wake him up, Lipitlotty, who recognizes the cheat, breaks in, first shoots Tipptopp and then turns his gun on himself. To culminate the upheaval is the disappearance of Karnyó, a husband believed to be dead for years, who was arrested by the French army on his business trip. However, he also collapses from the terrible sight. Finally, as a sign of heavenly help, Fairy and Fairy Son appear, and the dead come to life. Kuruzs, the willow tree poet, is transformed into Mihály Csokonai Vitéz, who listens intently to the greeting of Michael’s Day.
