Péter Urbán is a contemporary writer, member of the Hungarian Writers' Association, litterateur. His writings have been published in a separate volume, in the Hungarian Journal and in the supplement of the daily newspaper Előretolt helyőrség. His 1956-themed chamber drama The Three Erdődi was one of the first to be read by Judit Nagy, director of the Free Theatre. This play is a well-proportioned paraphrase of the family theme of the 48/49 War of Independence (Jókai Mór: Kőszívű ember fiai), transposed to the events of 1956 in a dramatically clear form. The author presents the personal and intertwined story of three generations within a single family, and the tragedy of a whole nation.
