Svejk: based on the The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek (Oberon Modern Plays)

Since Hasek's comic masterpiece was first produced in 1920s Pargue, there have been countless attempts to stage this sprawling story of the seeming idiot, Svejk, who survives the horros of the First World War through use of his very idiocy. This new adaptation draws on contemporaneous styles such as futurism and surrealism, as well as rhe ideas of Hasek's fellow Czech, Franz Kafka.
