Budapest’s Veres 1 Theater brings the smash-hit comedy Ne most, drágám! (Not Now, Darling!) by Ray Cooney and John Chapman to the stage in 2026 on several dates, starting April 3. The action unfolds in London’s swankiest fur salon, crammed with steamy love triangles, luxurious mink coats, scantily clad women, garments hurtling out windows, and guaranteed total bedlam. Pure escapism fuels this riot, with Cooney’s signature laughs and plot twists serving up an unforgettable live spectacle for every audience member.
Budapest Comedy Chaos Unfolds
Puffed-up salon co-owner Gilbert eyes a big score on the side while his wife is out of town. Right from the start, glitches pile up: feisty mistresses, fur prices plummeting, wife crashing back early, plus a sloshed frigate captain derailing the would-be adultery.
In the whirlwind, straight-arrow partner Arnold can’t keep track of the exploding flings, women stuffed in cupboards, or husbands hunting their wives. Testosterone skyrockets, London’s transport hauls off heaps of women’s undies, Gilbert spits out more insane schemes, all hurtling toward a whirlwind finale that leaves everyone in stitches. Comedy maestro Ray Cooney once again hammers those abs without mercy.
