The Garden Party

“Lentils are lentils and oats are oats.”

Czech Theater is an amateur multicultural community theater performing Czech plays in English so that people can enjoy this important part of Czech culture. Founded in 2018, their productions are consistently among Brno’s “can’t miss” English-language events.

Their spring play, written in 1963 by the dissident playwright and president Václav Havel and translated by Vera Blackwell, is a tale of bureaucracy gone mad. This surreal satire combines colorful characters and increasingly improbable speeches in a rich comedy that could be about an oppressive government or any workplace where the less sense you make, the higher you rise through the ranks.

This amateur production of “The Garden Party” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
