Something wicked this way comes in Prague Shakespeare Company’s Macbeth. Blood will have blood in this fast-paced and streamlined version of Shakespeare’s classic tale of ambition, witchcraft and murder – 80 minutes, no intermission.

The witches are many and act as a sort of Greek chorus as Macbeth and his wife plan and carry out the murder of King Duncan and take to the throne themselves, only to be consumed with doubt and paranoia – or is it the witches’ dark influence that hangs over it all? As the bodies pile up, and the action steers inevitably towards its bitter end, we are reminded to be careful what we wish for.

World Premiere

Prague, 1936. A routine burglary investigation propels a humble police detective straight into the crosshairs of an international criminal conspiracy intent on plunging Czechoslovakia and the world into the next conflagration… A lively detective yarn, The Order of the Blue Chrysanthemum features quirky characters and noir settings from Karel Čapek’s beloved collection of short fiction, Pocket Tales. “The Poet,” “Vertigo,” “An Ordinary Murder,” “Footprints,” and more…Čapek’s vintage stories of unorthodox detectives, decadent aristocrats, and murdered movie stars are reimagined and woven together into one meta-mystery that is steeped in the humanistic philosophy of the First Republic’s greatest literary giant. From the mansions to the dive-bars, pursued by murder, madness, and betrayal, on the run for his life and for the future of his young country, police detective Jan Mejzlík won’t relent until he has exposed all of the secrets of…The Order of the Blue Chrysanthemum.

PSC presents the Bear Theatre Company’s adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s The Bear and The Proposal

Following a series of well-received performances in the last season, The Bear Theatre is back in the Kolowrat with an evening of one-act plays by Anton Chekhov. Set in the countryside of early 20th century Russia, both of these short comedies feature highly volatile and hilarious meetings between a man and a woman.

While Anton Chekhov is best known for his full-length dramas, such as A Cherry Orchard and Uncle Vanya, he is also one of the best ever writers of short stories. The Bear and The Proposal are his most famous examples of short plays where he combines the two skills. Explosive, funny, and generally very enjoyable, these one-act plays have been popular from the moment of their first premieres.

The Bear is the flagship performance of the Bear Theatre, the show that gave the theatre it’s name. This is the twelfth year that actors David Fisher and Lenka Fisherova have performed it together. Costumes and sets by Russian designer Tatiana Irbis.
