Ferenc Molnár's cartoons, published in various newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s, were not originally intended for performance. The producers of the show brought them to life with great authorial ideas and sparkling dialogues. Some of the scenes, which touch on the bourgeois life of the time in Pest, may be relevant to today's Pest, and promise to entertain the audience.
