Nicsak, ki lakik itt?! (Peekaboo, Who’s Living Here?!)
Michael Cooney’s wild comedy hits the stage April 11, 2026, at 3 p.m.—a two-act frenzy revamped from the 2018 Bánfalvy Stúdió production in 2025. Directed by Horváth Csaba, produced by HCS and Oliver W. Horváth, with Benedek Albert handling translation, dramaturgy, and tweaks. Picture this: London-based Hungarian Szűcs Róbert drowning in freebies—unemployment benefits, pension, sick pay, child allowance, disability support, even free cow’s milk—plus a nursing bra side hustle that sparks his wife’s jealousy. Panicking about getting caught, he tries to ditch the cash grabs before losing his wife or his freedom. But shaking off those handouts? Easier said than done. Cast includes Varga Iza or Kondákor Zsófia as Linda Szűcs-Swan, Hujber Ferenc as Szűcs Róbert, Harmath Imre or Gombás Ádám as Pawel Duda, Gombás Ádám or Kiss Zoli as Mr. George Jenkins, Ganxsta Zolee as Gyurka, Bugár Anna or Kondákor Zsófia as Sally Chessington, Sándor Péter or Hajdu Levente as Dr. Chapman, Imre István or Csányi Dávid as Mr. Fortbright, and György Orsolya as Miss Cowper, with Stelczer Timi as Magdalena Szmrczyk.
Az egérfogó (The Mousetrap)
Veres 1 Színház brings Agatha Christie’s classic mystery on April 13, 2026, at 7 p.m.—a two-and-a-half-hour brain-teaser of masterful misdirection and peekaboo whodunit. Set in the remote Ralston guesthouse amid snowdrifts and a severed phone line, where a murder in Culver Street brings detective Trotter skiing in to unmask the killer among the guests. Christie toys with us, proving each suspect guilty one by one until we’re hooked in the ultimate trap. Fun fact: Her granddaughter got the rights thinking it’d flop in six months—wrong! It’s been running nonstop for 69 years in London at St. Martin’s Theatre, outshining Big Ben, with 28,000 shows, 454 actors, 149 miles of ironed shirts, and 512 tons of lobby ice cream sold since Churchill’s premiership and wartime rations. This production nails the vibe: roaring fire, blizzard winds, 1920s costumes, meticulous sets fueling suspense—who’s the killer till the end? “EVERYONE’S SUSPECT.” Cast: Trokán Péter as Mr. Paravicini, Csáki Edina as Mollie Ralston, Pásztor Tibor as Giles Ralston, Dósa Mátyás or Krajnik-Balogh Gábor as Christopher Wren, Mohai Tamás as Sgt. Trotter, Zorgel Enikő as Mrs. Boyle, Venyige Sándor as Major Metcalf, Molnár Gyöngyi as Miss Casewell.
