British Comedy, Midlife Panic
A Wife Begins at Forty (A feleség negyvennél kezdődik)
Monday, November 17, 2025, 19:00
Linda’s bored with her 17-year marriage, suburban English life, her looming forties, and especially her husband, George. He thinks everything’s fine—until he falls asleep during sex. Linda snaps: she wants quality intimacy, attention, love, life. She wants a divorce.
Their teen son starts dating, the senile grandpa rattles off war stories, best friends offer terrible advice, and right in the middle stands poor George. With some courage extracted from the drinks cabinet, he chooses a dangerous path: rejuvenate the marriage. A finely crafted British comedy set in the 1980s with a starry cast, the Forum Theatre’s (Forum Színház) newest crowd-pleaser mirrors us all with lovable characters and laugh-out-loud chaos.

Swing on the High Seas
Thursday, November 20, 2025, 19:00
New York, 1938, aboard the luxury liner La Paz. A workaholic, jaded young businesswoman crashes into a charming adventurer. On the way to Monte Carlo, the deck teems with oddballs: Tony’s fiancée, a degenerate moneyed aristocrat; a brutal wife with her terrified husband; a dithering secretary whose life changes twice via a Tibetan singing bowl; and Tony’s irrepressible mother determined to look a decade younger than her own daughter.
Everyone’s chasing something—or someone. Money’s on the line, hearts are toyed with, and the ship throbs with swing, the electrifying soundtrack of jazz’s brightest era. The former hit returns in 2025 to the Veres 1 Theatre’s (Veres 1 Színház) repertoire. Based on Károly Aszlányi’s comedy of the same name, with book and lyrics by Attila Lőrinczy and music by Bálint Bársony, the Artisjus and Fonogram-winning composer-saxophonist. Amerikai komédia (American Comedy) bursts with humor from start to finish, newly staged by Károly Peller.

The Naked Truth (Meztelen igazság) – musical comedy
Monday, November 24, 2025, 19:00
Six women from wildly different backgrounds sign up for a confidence-boosting pole-dance course. They’re not just there to move sexy. Friendships form, secrets spill, and they gradually make peace with—and love—their own bodies. Then comes a bold idea: for charity, they drop their inhibitions… and their clothes.
A witty, liberating comedy about self-acceptance, sisterhood, and how the hardest act can be stripping down—emotionally and literally.

Tódorka, his former tutor, helped—then decides to confess all to the Count’s grandmother. The formidable Grandmother arrives, grills her grandson about the girl who inspired this masquerade, and chooses to help the lovers, haunted by her own heartbreak after being separated from her true love. Can she untangle old family knots and steer the young toward happiness?
