Author -Ferenc Molnár – Director – Tamás Puskás

Starring Róbert Alföldi, Zsolt László, Eszter Balla, Samu Puskás and Zoltán Schmied.

Ferenc Molnár writes about love and the power of the stage in his brilliant comedy entitled The Game in the Castle. In a nutshell: Two playwrights, Turai and Gál, are having a pleasant conversation with the young and talented composer of their new operetta show, Ádám, when they hear the actress in the next room, Annie – Ádám’s fiancee and love – arguing with one of the actors in the production, her former love. The argument audibly leads to a reconciliation, and the young composer collapses upon hearing this. Turai knows that he must save the boy and with him the operetta. And for this you will need all your writing skills!

The performance is written by , one of the most exciting Hungarian theater directors alive today. With his unique style and his specific working method, he creates a special performance about the interplay of actors at the Centrál Theather – Budapest.

The performance will be played with an intermission, its duration is 2 hours.

Ferenc Molnár’s perhaps most famous and world-famous play, The Game in the Castle, will premiere at the Central Theater in Budapest. We can see Molnár’s most personal comedy starring Róbert Alföldi, Eszter Balla, Zsolt László, Samu Puskás and Zoltán Schmied, directed by Tamás Puskás. From the performance woven with brilliant logic, we can learn how to get out of even the most embarrassing situations – with the help of theater. In the performance, the audience can hear Nino Rota‘s music interpreted by the Budapest Bar.

After a day of huzzle and buzzle … fine occasion to enloose at the Central Theater. Have a nice evening enjoy the play. Comment from Tamás Puskás director of the play … “Theater cannot change our lives, but it can make us believe in a better reality.

Herald News – “NETWORK” Play Budapest @ Central Theater


Saturday, January 15, 2022

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
