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.

Network … the stage adaptation of the 1976 movie is to be coming up at the Central Theater – Budapest a super production and the most monumental performance in its history. Author Based on Paddy Chayevsky’s script, the adaptation was made by Lee Hall. Translated by György Baráthy – Director Tamás Puskás.

Sidney Lumet’s creation, Network, was the first to talk about the power and manipulation of television under the pretext of a fictional television company, UBS, whose leaders do not shy away from the most unscrupulous means of viewing while conveying only its illusion to viewers instead of reality.
Sidney Lumet stage for an adaptation of Lee’s 1976, multiple-time Oscar-winning film Lee Hall.

Summary: When a well-served, battered-successful announcer broadcasting news anchor who cracks up on the air is fired, he announces live that he will commit suicide. This is the world that we live in today. So this was also the challenge, of course, how to make this work that was a little bit of a parody in its time — how to turn it into a tragedy.”

The spectators will see Róbert Alföldi, Dorina Martinovics, Zsolt László, Tibor Fehér and Gyula Bodrogi, among others, in the lecture on the poppy power of the media, which features spectacular video technology.

The movie was made almost 5 decades ago, and yet it is still completely relevant to how things are still current in 2022. It is kinda weird seeing a play from the 70’s having more truth in one scene than most movies today have in their entire run time.

Róbert Alföldi an awesome Hungarian actor, director. His best known for his numerous controversial theatrical adaptations as a director. Played in dozen-and.dozen roles. Directed performances: Shakespeare, Beaumarchaisand Friedrich Schiller. Received countless prizes and awards. In 2014 the Hungarian edition of Forbes named him at number 1 in its List of The 100 Most Valuable.

Those whom saw the movie and/or the stage performance on Broadway and/or London are welcomed to see the piece in Hungarian language for those who Hungarians who understand English and even  without knowing the Hungarian words must see this NETWORK play by the superb actors. Every person in Hungary, all ages, colors and creeds need to watch this in the coming days.

Tickets available on the spot – District VI., 18. Révay Street – Budapest
