The most interesting and most successful of Maresova's set designs was for Liliom, the celebrated play written by Ferenc Molnar (1940).
CAROUSEL by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which was adapted from Ferenc Molnar's 1909 play Liliom, tells the dark and tragic story of the troubled, tumultuous relationship between Billy Bigelow, a young swaggering carousel barker, and the devoted and naive Julie Jordan.
In Hungarian, my favorite was Molnar's The Boys of Paul Street, wherein the author of Liliom set down, with much humor and pathos, the gang wars among Budapest youths.
