Upcoming performances
There are several interesting events coming up in the English-language theater world.
The Prague Fringe is offering two comedy nights this season. Both are likely to sell out quickly, so don’t hesitate to book tickets! November 17th: Stephen Frost Impro All-Stars at Divadlo na Pradle. December 15th, David O’Doherty at Divadlo na Pradle. More info and tickets at: http://www.praguefringe.com/2009/comedynights.php.
AKANDA is showing SEX, DRUGS, ROCK & ROLL at Divadlo Barfly, U Milosrdných 4, Prague 1. November 27, 28 and December 3 and 4 at 19:30. It’s a black comedy by award-winning playwright Eric Bogosian. Biting social commentary guaranteed to make you laugh at the most inappropriate things and question your own mental health. Over-the-top characters become caricatures of people we have all have met in our lives and hope we will never see again.
Students from NYU are performing two short plays by Vaclav Havel at Divadlo na Zabradli, Anenske namesti 5. December 5 and 6 at 2pm. The students are acting, directing and producing the plays, Audience and Unveiling, themselves. It should be well worth a look.

The Stephen Frost’s Impro Allstars kick off the season, returning to Prague for a third visit with more of their improvised madness, followed quickly on the heels by charismatic comic Stephen K Amos. A newcomer to Prague but comedy god on the circuit, Stephen is a regular at the Fringe in Edinburgh and performs at all of the world’s major comedy festivals. The Winter Fringe is kick started by Scottish singer songwriter Andi Neate returning to Prague for a sixth time. Prague resident Peter Hosking plays Monk O’Neil one more time in his acclaimed production of A Stretch of the Imagination, a raucous Australian comedy, which premiered in Europe here in May and was the eye catching cover image of the Fringe. The Irish Maverick Press make a welcome third return after sell out successes for the last two Fringes with their Voice and the Verse – songs poems and stories with a splash of charm and miles of smiles. The season is rounded up traditionally by the Fringe’s favorite comedy duo Topping and Butch back in Prague for the eighth time. The boys have been seen on Czech TV all autumn on Q with their weekly slot ‘Phrase a Gay’. New fun and frolics abound in this years Christmas Party show!
