Ray Cooney’s smash-hit farce Out of Order storms Hungary in 2026 with multiple companies, multiple cities, and online tickets now available. The plot? Richard Willey, a rising government minister, sneaks off for a romantic night with Jane Worthington, the secretary to the opposition leader, at the grand Westminster Hotel—only to find a “corpse” stuck in the suite’s window. From there, panic, lies, and door-slamming chaos escalate by the minute.
The farce Hungarians love
Audiences know the story from the film, and Cooney is already a crowd favorite in Pécs thanks to his It Runs in the Family (Vészhelyzetben) caper, which had viewers—let’s be honest—howling. Expect the same unhinged energy here.
A night spiraling out of control
Richard calls in his parliamentary secretary, George Pigden, whose attempts to help only tangle him deeper in a web of improvised lies. Things get worse when Ronnie, Jane’s jealous husband, shows up. Add the hotel staff, Mr. Willey’s wife, and a nurse, and the situation flips from desperate to impossible in seconds. The comedy’s engine: one body, ten conflicting alibis, and zero exits that actually help.
