The Danube is set in Budapest, Hungary, 1938. It is not a play about Budapest, Hungary, 1938. It is about the absurdity of language in the face of catastrophe. It is about denial, habit and change. Using everything from garden hoses, a dance number and teensy-tiensy soup bowls, the theatre students of the University of Houston tell a story of love and war, with really creeeepy voiceovers.
