Cons
–
Most performances are in Hungarian, so punchlines and fast dialogue can be hard to follow without supertitles
–
The specific company (Veres 1 Színház) is less internationally famous, so expectations rely more on the titles than brand recognition
–
Some venues (e.g., Óbuda, Pesterzsébet) are farther from the central tourist core, adding transit time
–
Dates and programs can change, which complicates planning short trips
