Csaba Pindroch's one-man comedy "Help, I'm Married!", which premiered at the Thália Theatre in Budapest on 29 October 2016, promises an intense theatrical experience and guaranteed entertainment, followed by numerous sold-out performances in Thália and in the countryside. The contemporary comedy, based on the novel of the same name by Elemér Sebestyén, is co-dramaturged, produced and starred by Csaba Pindroch, and directed by Márk Radnai.

The performance, which combines both traditional farce and modern stand-up comedy, is a curved mirror of the most comic or bitter moments of everyday life before and after the wedding.
We all see familiar situations, and we can laugh with relief at the versatile and sincere performance of Csaba Pindroch, who, as an actor well versed in the subject of marriage and infinitely likeable, brilliantly serves up this unusual theatrical dish.
But despite its unbridled humour and irony, this men's monologue of anecdote-like stories is nothing less than a tribute to women, love and marriage.
"Although it is full of snide remarks and humorous situations, this play is like a confession of love. It is a message from me personally to my wife, and from all men to all women, as a thank you for that important, incredibly blissful, but sometimes infinitely annoying and thus a source of much humour, wonderful human relationship we call marriage", says Csaba Pindroch.
The performance is one of the few stage productions based on a work by a contemporary Hungarian author, presenting the Hungarian reality of today.
Also of particular interest is the one-man presence of the lead actor, Csaba Pindroch, which requires more attention from both the audience and the actor than in traditional multi-character dramas and comedies, thus providing a unique theatrical experience.
Criticism
"Apart from the fact that Pindroch, who plays dozens of characters with unflagging intensity, could be silenced for days - or at least for one more act, certainly - the stage version of the comedy Help, I'm Married! also proved that it is possible to make an entertaining play out of the seemingly trite marriage dilemma."
