Leading Czech director J. A Pitínský once again stages a Czech classic. The hard-hitting story of a man whose marriage to a much younger, calculating wife and the subsequent intrigues of his mother-in-law result in tragedy. In Pitinský's hands this exciting story of family relationships becomes a dynamic drama with elements of folklore and, remarkably, references to the approaches of traditional Asian theatre. The actors of the Slovácko Theatre deal remarkably with this difficult challenge.
