Francia Rúdugrás and Early Laughs
June 24 delivers István Mohácsi’s Francia rúdugrás (French Pole Vault, 18+), where three women and three men swap roles on a stormy night charged with chemistry sparked by a sly sexologist. Misunderstandings pile up, but hope lingers for a happy turnaround. Then July 3 brings Neil Simon’s Pletykafészek (Rumors), a two-act farce where you just lean back, watch gossip spread among the upper crust, and laugh at their chaos.
István, a Király Concert Spectacle – July 4

Pál Utcai Fiúk Double Dose – July 7 & 8
Twice in a row on July 7 and 8, catch Dés László, Geszti Péter, and Grecsó Krisztián’s A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys), a two-part musical play. The classic tale unfolds not as kids’ squabbles but as young adults’ fierce conflicts, heightened by modern tunes and lyrics. Acoustic props, actors’ rhythmic flair, youthful power, humor, and the original’s cathartic message shine through.
Family Adventures and Menopause Musical

July 15 rocks with Jeanie Linders’ Menopauza (Menopause) musical, hilariously tackling that life stage women whisper about or joke away—loud, honest, and riotously funny.
Geszti Péter and Csengetett, Mylord? Premieres

Thrillers, Farces, and Swing Vibes
July 26’s Steven Moffat’s Rém rendes vendég (A Very Scary Guest), a two-act comedy fresh from London’s West End to Budapest’s Játékszín: polite English couple Peter and Debbie befriend American widow Elsa on a cruise, but online scares turn her uninvited visit into panic, tangled with nosy neighbors and cops. July 28’s Ne most, drágám! (Not Now, Darling!) unleashes love triangles, fur coats, scantily clad ladies, flying clothes, and madness in London’s poshest fur salon. July 31 swings with Amerikai komédia (American Comedy), based on Aszlányi Károly’s 1930s hit—Lőrinczy Attila’s libretto/lyrics, Bársony Bálint’s music, Peller Károly directing humor, energy, and swing for all ages.

Szilveszter in Agatha Christie’s thriller.
Anconai Szerelmesek and Quimby Highlights
August 7 and 11 double up on Anconai szerelmesek (Ancona Lovers)—the most-played Hungarian comedy blending Italian commedia dell’arte, local humor, and 1970s Italian hits; the sequel on Lake Balaton sees the crew 20 years later, chasing roots and love at a SZOT resort with Azzurro, Bella Ciao, and Sono l’italiano. August 8’s Quimby concert delivers their signature sound and icons for a top festival night.
Stand-Up, Smudge Mountain, and Sound of Music Finale
August 15’s Egy életem (My Life) biographical stand-up with Csuja Imre spills humbly hilarious tales of his mom-dominated childhood, early career chaos, four-shows-a-day marathons, mentor wisdom, 40-year love with his wife, and behind-the-scenes on Üvegtigris (Glass Tiger) and Valami Amerika (Something America). August 18’s Túl a Maszat-hegyen? (Beyond Smudge Mountain?) flips cleaning to chaos as Muhi Andris rescues pals from dust bunnies and neat freaks in a colorful, musical romp for all. August 22’s A muzsika hangja (The Sound of Music) whisks you from 1930s Austria: nun Maria livens a captain’s seven kids with song till Nazis force flight—catchy tunes, deep emotions, history for family bonding.
