Ceza Kanunu at CerModern

About this event

Ceza Kanunu, a comedy of mix-ups set in 1920s Istanbul, is staged at CerModern in Sıhhiye on Sunday 6 December 2026 at 20:00. The performance runs about 110 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 14 and over. İbnürrefik Ahmet Nuri (Sekizinci) adapted the play from a French farce by Georges Courteline, Vingt jours à l'ombre. The story follows Amberi Bey, a rich philanderer who is caught in a police raid at his lover's home, slaps a policeman and is sentenced to a month in prison. Terrified that his wife will find out, he looks for a way out: his old school friend İrfan will serve the sentence in his place in return for money. CerModern describes the piece as a comedy about the fraud-filled lives and crooked order of 1920s Istanbul. Tickets are sold through Biletinial.
