One Set to Love

We saw "One Set to Love: A Twisted Romance in One Act" starring Mike Kelly and Matt Devere (Madhouse Company) at the Merlin Szinhaz. I usually take my friend Chris' girlfriend because he hates the theater and she loves it. This time <!-- pagebreak -->one set to loveChris came along too, and liked it enough to promise Nora to go with her twice a year Wink You had to be "in the know" for some of the dialog, taken from well-known British tv shows or something, so some of it went over my head. The props were inventive and the acting was very good. There were some Hungarian highschool groups there, and their homophobia was pallatable, that is until Matt Devere turned his killer smile on them and cracked them up.

On another note altogether, If you want the best langos (elephant ears, fried dough) in town, check out the langos stand inside the Hunyadi ter Market. The ladies are very friendly, and also make a mean turos palcsinta.
