ON THE SUMMER STAGE: WITH A STICK IN THE BACK

Legendary performance with Josef Dvořák

The play With a Stick in the Back premiered at the Semafor Theatre on 4th June 1981 and saw almost 500 performances. Now, after many years, the legendary Semafor production returns to the stage ...

The character of a simple folk clever man, who gets entangled in a chess game of the powerful, provides the brilliant Josef Dvořák with space for a series of brilliant clown acts.

“…That effort to constantly pretend, to always play the role that is currently required, to gain something from every situation for oneself, that spineless opportunism, the effort to create the appearance of an idyll on ruins at any cost… isn’t it all too familiar to us?
