A peleskei notárius: Bohózat három szakaszban négy felvonással

Set in the bustling town of Peleske, this lively farce follows the antics of a local notary whose meticulous record‑keeping becomes the catalyst for a cascade of misunderstandings. Structured in three distinct sections and four brisk acts, the play balances witty dialogue with rapid‑fire entrances, giving listeners a taste of 19th‑century Hungarian humor without demanding any prior knowledge of the era.

The notary’s well‑meaning attempts to settle disputes—ranging from marriage contracts to property claims—entangle a colorful cast of townsfolk, each eager to protect their own interests. As egos clash and secrets surface, the audience is treated to a parade of clever wordplay, slapstick mishaps, and satirical commentary on social pretensions. The first act sets the stage for these entangled schemes, promising a spirited exploration of human folly that unfolds with charm and brisk pacing.
