Description
A unique book published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Jára Cimrman Theatre presents the unknown face of the most famous Czech theater company through images and text. Zdeněk Svěrák reflects on its history in the form of a private letter to Ladislav Smoljak, and each member of the theater contributed their most vivid memory. Readers will learn how Petr Brukner was born in two cities simultaneously, what the worst thing Miloň Čepelka ever did was, and what the biggest acting problem Miroslav Táborský faces. Fans of Jára Cimrman will be surprised to find that many well-known personalities, such as Jiří Menzel, Jiří Stivín, or Jaroslav Uhlíř, have passed through the ensemble, and that this seemingly all-male theater also includes women. An abundance of photographs captures the actors in their distinctive roles, but most often the lens is aimed backstage, revealing events that remain hidden from the audience.
