🎭
Jean de Létraz’s sharpest comedy, Tombol az erény (Virtue in a Frenzy), storms into Miskolc on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Seven characters collide in a fizzy mix of love, money, scandal, and confusion, staged by director Kornél Simon for Veres 1 Színház. The French farce, long a crowd-pleaser, crackles with perfect timing, mistaken motives, and social pretenses that unravel at high speed.
All-star cast brings the chaos
Front and center are Artúr Kálid, Enikő Zorgel, Kata Janza, Ildikó Bacsa, Endre Beleznay, Tibor Pásztor, Nelly Fésűs, Edina Csáki, and László Janik—a powerhouse lineup primed for whip-smart exchanges and split-second turns. Expect rapid banter, slamming doors, and escalating deceptions that push every relationship to the brink—then snap back with a laugh.

Pros
+
Family-friendly vibe if your crew enjoys quick, silly door-slamming humor; farce keeps things light and pacey
+
Famous French farce roots make the subject easy to “get” even if you’ve never heard of this specific play
+
Cast is stacked with well-known Hungarian stage actors, so you’re getting a high-quality production
+
Miskolc city center venue on Rákóczi Street is easy to find and close to cafés and sights for a full day out
+
Public transit is decent: Miskolc has trams/buses, and from Budapest you can train to Miskolc, then short local ride or walk; driving via M3 is straightforward
+
Doesn’t demand deep cultural background—classic themes of love, money, and social mix-ups translate well
+
Compared with similar farces in Paris/London/NYC, ticket prices are typically friendlier and the crowd more local-authentic
- Hungarian-language performance likely means non-speakers will miss jokes unless surtitles are provided (not mentioned)
Cons
–
Miskolc isn’t as internationally famous as Budapest, so fewer English-friendly supports and tourist services near the venue
–
Slamming-doors farce can be chaotic for very young kids; humor skews adult situations (though not usually explicit)
–
Travel time from Budapest is 2–2.5 hours each way, so it’s a commitment if you’re on a tight itinerary
