Pros
+
Family-friendliness: slapstick farce with door-slams keeps teens and adults laughing, and you can pick a city that fits your itinerary
+
International fame of the play: Ray Cooney’s British farces are exported worldwide, so the style and humor are familiar to U.S. audiences
+
Location recognition: Budapest and Debrecen are well-known stops for foreign visitors, giving you plenty to do before/after the show
+
Language need: even if the performance is in Hungarian, the physical comedy and visual gags make it easy to follow without fluency
+
Transport ease: Budapest and Győr venues are reachable by tram/metro or short taxi rides; driving between tour cities is straightforward on good highways
+
Value vs. West End/Broadway: tickets in Hungary are typically far cheaper, so you get a polished farce night without big-city prices
+
Seasonal timing: winter dates pair well with Christmas markets and thermal bath visits, making it a fun evening add-on
- Family-friendliness caveat: innuendo, lingerie, and adult themes mean it’s not ideal for young kids
Cons
–
Language barrier: wordplay and rapid-fire jokes land better if you understand Hungarian; no guarantee of surtitles
–
Location familiarity: Veresegyház is lesser-known to foreign tourists, with fewer dining/late-night options nearby
–
Transport quirks: outside Budapest, public transit can thin out late at night, so plan taxis or a car for the return trip
