Merlin theatre - Christian

Those, who dont speak Hungarian, face a little problem in Budapest, they are not able to share the an important part of the great cultural life in Budapest, the theaters. There are a lot and Budapesters love to go to theaters. But there is one big chance for us, it is the Merlin Theater close to Déak Square, which offers English evenings on Mondays and Wednesday.


You can enjoy plays in English or Hungarian with English Subtitles. We had the pleasure to be invited by the Merlin Theater and could look behind the scenes and backstage (which later played a confusing "role" during my evening there). Then we were supposed to watch a play, called Pornography, which created some inner desires in myself and the desire to bring in a beer into the play. But that is strictly prohibited, but I could manage to bring it in.

The play was great, but during it I needed to go to the rest room, but that is also STRICTLY prohibited. I managed to go out, but it was so dark, that I ended in the backstage and crashed with the actors.. finally I managed to make it to the restroom, but then I was not allowed to go back to the audience. But I could enjoy the great cocktails (Happy Hour from 18:00 to 22:00 hrs) at the bar and then a concert in the bar area. And I was invited by Merlin for a free beer, for all the "complications" I needed to go through!

Merlin Theater is a great place for a very colorful evening: Cocktails, good food and beers, dramas on and off the stage and great concerts! Budapest at its best!
