Budapest Premiere Centrál Theater!

The EFFECT Play by Lucy Prebble – directed by Ádám Horgas

Production translated by Tibor Puskás.

… Continuing experience with photos …

Story in a nutshell … It contrasts scientific objectivity with the mysteries of the heart, dry data with the unknowability of both of their emotions. Already while waiting for them to enter the institution, you can see how much in the air between them is blooming. However, the doubt whether their burgeoning love is real or just the side effect of the experimental pill they are givn. Deep emotions, but tension spiced with humor. Worthwhile to see the performance with excellent actors!

I hope that the day will come when the plays will be shown on a projector in the Central Theater with English subtitles, so that foreigners will also be able to experience the talented Hungarian actors on stage.

The EFFECT Play by Lucy Prebble is Coming to the CENTRAL THEATER – BUDAPEST

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

On Friday, December 6,. 7 p.m. new premiere on the stage at Budapest’s Central Theater.

The Effect is the latest play written by Lucy Prebble. At th Centrál Theater directed by Ádám Horgas,and it will be performed by Éva Botos, Tibor Fehér, and two excellent guest artists, Dorka Gáspárfalvi and Tibor Mertz.

Judy Prebble English playwrite, play was premiered 12 years ago, received great success and won the Critics’ Award for Best Drama that year. The play was re-performed in an updated form at London’s Lyttelton Theater in 2023 and this year at The Shed in New York.

Just a veiw what to see … The modern four-person-play deals with the impact anti depressants can have on emotions and character. The Effect is about a clinical romance in how much does our brain make us what we are, and how much does our behaviour influence our brain, particularly when it comes to love? In Lucy Prebble drama she examines what makes us human and the nature of love. It’s a dizzying journey, ful of emotion, shock and stimulation for that blob of grey matter. The dialogue is not only snappy and funny and sad, but extraordinarily natural as two young volunteers, Tristan and Connie, agree to take part in a clinical drug trial.

The frustration of the clinicians involved and the attraction of love in some parts is funny, moving and perhaps surprisingly human play explores questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine, alongside ideas of fate, loyalty and the inevitability of physical attraction

The Effect with warmth, humour and intelligence, timely and provocative play is guaranteed to keep you debating long after the lights come up.

The Effect on stage from Friday, December 6,. 7 p.m. and for the time being ongoing to Thursday January, 23. 2025. 7 p.m.

“Under Therapy”  – Bajo Terapia – Not Really Comedy Instead Drama for Humor.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , .

terápia plakát

Directed Gerardo Herrero based on the stage by

The dynamic cast: Malena Alterio, Alexandra Jiménez, Fele Martínez, Antonio Pagudo, Eva Ugarte and Juan Carlos Vellido (Pirates of the Caribbean 4-5).

Out in November at Hungary’s movies. Original Spanish film with Hungarian subtitles.

During Therapy, moviegoers are promised a six-character relationship drama laced with sitcoms, which is an adaptation of a theater performance. The hour and a half is about a lot of things: raising children, sex in relationships, jealousy, accepting husbands, women’s work outside the home and a few other smaller, other topics. The story follows three married couples who participate in an unconventional group therapy, and the characters are tasked with helping each other recover from their deep-rooted traumas, which unfold following the therapist’s instructions.

Herrero, producer of the Oscar-winning 2009 Hidden Secrets, returns as director after The Goya Murders. Under Therapy is the chilling film version of playwright Matías Del Federico’s theatrical production. Not a comedy, but a drama for humor.

A two-time winner in Málaga and a contender in San Sebastián, Herrero has proven to be one of Spain’s most enduring directors, continuing to evolve since he made his feature film debut in 1987.

The film was presented at the 26th Málaga Film Festival on March, 12. 2023. Distributed by Syldavia Cinema, it was released theatrically in Spain on March, 17. 2023.
