Parisian Romp With an Easter Twist
Randevú Párizsban, avagy Kellemes Húsvéti Ünnepeket! arrives on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., a two-act comedy set today in a posh Paris neighborhood. Based on the 1984 French box-office smash by Jean Poiret and Georges Lautner, famously led by Sophie Marceau and Jean-Paul Belmondo, the story follows industrial tycoon Stéphane Margelle, a serial charmer living with his beautiful wife, Sophie. After dropping her at the airport for Easter break, he stumbles into an 18-year-old and sweeps her through dinner, a night bar, and finally home—right as his wife’s canceled flight sends her back through the door. Cornered, he blurts out a desperate lie: the girl is his daughter. Cast: Egyházi Géza (Stéphane), Fogarassy Bernadett (Sophie), Czető Fritz Éva (Julie), Várfi Sándor (Walter), Czető Roland (Frédéric), Borbáth Ottília (Marlene).

Fearing exposure, he’d rather ditch the illicit payouts than his freedom or marriage. But getting rid of benefits is harder than claiming them. Bánfalvy Stúdió’s 2018 hit, refreshed in 2025.
