Krisztina Tóth’s play The Bat was also presented in the United States

"Toth’s choice of form, an ominous narrative web that connects many characters stuck in a country with closed borders, is far from arbitrary. These people become victims, some when they least expect it, of a system they’re complicit in; they seem autonomous but are ultimately contained by the instruments of power. It takes a closed circuit, after all, for electricity — that illuminating but critically dangerous force — to flow."

Eye of the Monkey by Krisztina Tóth – autocratic deception and unchecked desire „There is, as you have probably gleaned, little to be optimistic about in the book’s dystopian cosmos. But there is great enjoyment to be found in Tóth’s artistry; in the precision of her images (“she got dressed as if she were leaving a gynecological appointment”), in the originality of her characterisation (Giselle’s husband is “the kind of fellow who always knew what the temperature would be that day”). Her characters are flawed, deceitful, contradictory, and yet their undeniable humanity pulls us in. Tóth shows us how private pain is so often behind hurtful acts; Larkin’s refrain “Man hands on misery to man” feels like a silent companion to the book."
