- Most shows are in Hungarian; non‑speakers will miss nuances unless a production is music‑forward or you know the stories
Cons
–
Veresegyház and the festival aren’t internationally famous, so there’s less English info and fewer tourist services on site
–
Public transport back late at night can be sparse; driving or arranging a ride may be easier for evening performances
–
Compared to London/Broadway outdoor series or Edinburgh Fringe, it’s smaller in scale and less varied for English‑speaking visitors
