The V+W Correspondence

Dora Viceníková

NATIONAL THEATRE IN BRNO, , CZE
Direction
Jan Mikulášek

The correspondence between famous actors Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich is a potent testmony of the lives of two exceptonal people during a difcult tme, when their paths went in diferent directons afer February 1948. Director Jan Mikulášek, who in recent years has gained a reputaton as one of the most remarkable talents in Czech theatre, conceived the producton as an expressive, somewhat grotesque theatrical commentary on the contents of the leters. The result is an emotonally-powerful and theatrically impressive reading of the leters and the lives of V+W.
