The Meth Maker

Roman wanted to take drugs. Roman smoked, drank, sniffed and injected them. Roman loved Dita. Roman served time. In prisons and detox centres. Roman cooked drugs, methamphetamine above all. Roman made the purest meth of all. His authentic testimony, adapted by novelist and poet Petr Motýl in the book Perníková chaloupka (Meth House), was transformed by director Vojtěch Štěpánek and actor Petr Panzenberger at the independent Ostrava theatre Studio G into a gripping monodrama that earned Panzenberger the Thalia Award.
