One evening, near a sleepy American town somewhere in Colorado, gunshots ring out—and soon after, Grace appears. She is on the run. She needs shelter from gangsters pursuing her and threatening her life. She is fortunate: the residents of Dogville, led by writer Tom, grant her refuge, and in return she helps them with their daily tasks. She babysits Vera and Chuck’s children, assists Mrs. Ginger in her store, polishes glass for the Hensen family, and keeps blind Mr. McKay company. She is welcomed into the community, and for Grace, the hope of a new beginning seems to dawn. After all, human beings are essentially good. Or… are they?

Dogville

Theater of JK Tyl New Stage

American playwright Margaret Edson wrote an empathetic modern drama about confronting serious illness—a deeply human play that, despite its grave subject matter, contains intelligent humor. Wit invites reflection on existence itself, on both the strength and fragility of human life.

Divadlo Josefa Kajetána Tyla

It sounds like a joke but the grannies don’t find it funny. They have a problem on their hands – serious bodily harm. They have attacked the minister for social affairs who had introduced a new scheme for seniors. And now they are desperate. Will they be freed, with the help of young dr. Klupps, or will they really go behind the bars?
