János Háy is a returning author; his play Marriage From Here, Marriage Beyond is one of the biggest hits of Hungarian theatre.In spring 2018, we will present his brand new bitter comedy, the post-graduation for drunk drivers, which has never been performed in Budapest. Or should we say a stomach-churning comedy?!
It's about people who have had their driving licence revoked for drink driving and have to undergo three days of group therapy. We see some very (or not so!) typical figures of Hungarian society today: a man from an institute, an Italian-Hungarian not-so-cool guy, a joint representative, a trendy make-up artist, a project manager, a journalist, a work-alcoholic multinational, a caterer and of course two female psychologists who are leading the therapy, and who are also not simple characters!
It is a little masterpiece, at once incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking - in that pause between two sips of what they call 'life'.
