O pokladech

Plot unavailable

Operation Dunaj

Operation Danube was the cover name for the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact armies in August 1968.

Insect

The Dung Beetle is late, the Parasite is asleep and Mrs Larva is more interested in her knitting than the director’s instructions. It’s clear: this amateur theatre company has a long way to go before they can perform their version of The Insect Play, a famous satirical work from 1922 by the brothers Karel and Josef Čapek which features insects with decidedly human traits: greed, egocentrism, jealousy.
