A timeless French comedy full of intrigues, infidelity, old debts, droit du seigneur and piquant accusation of those in power. The celebrity and ruler of the region, Count Almaviva, unwittingly battles the wits of his subordinate yet greatest rival, the servant Figaro. When the Count wants to taste the sweet embrace of Susanna, Figaro's chosen one, a tough fight begins.

The Marriage Of Figaro, Or A Crazy Day

Theater of JK Tyl New Stage

The author of this conversation play is one of the greatest talents of the contemporary French drama. The world premiere in 2011 in the Parisian Théâtre Montparnasse has launched its highly successful international tour. Czech theatregoers could have already seen it in various theatres across the country, this year for the first time in Pilsen. Michel, the main character of Zeller’s comedy, enters the play as a man who has no other choice but to lie. How else could he handle a situation where for six months he has been cheating on his wife with the wife of his best friend? Lying to all sides is something he considers not just an obligation, but mainly a way of showing consideration. Why hurt people we really care about? Michel believes that he is always one step ahead and that he knows more than the others do. But he is not prepared to the eventuality that the situation could turn around and that the events around his cheating could take an unexpected turn.

The Truth

Last time, director Radovan Lipus staged the story of painter Gottfried Lindauer. Now, we turn to a figure who left an indelible artistic mark not only in Plzeň—but one that is still alive today! For the puppets Spejbl and Hurvínek continue to entertain audiences to this very day.

S.k.u.p.a.

Heda, Heda Gabler, the ambitious and dangerously beautiful daughter of General Gabler, pampered by everyone, yet unattainable. A modern Artemis. And next to her – Jørgen Tesman. A brilliant scientist, but a man who is almost useless in practical life. Something is missing and someone is surplus to requirements... Instead of fulfilled dreams, there is only banality. Instead of a fulfilled life, there is only silence, which sounds louder than shouting. Who controls whom? Who is today's Heda? Have we learned to face our own mistakes?
