Beschreibung:
Since Hasek's comic masterpiece was first produced in 1920s Prague, there have been countless attempts to stage this sprawling story of the seeming idiot, Svejk, who survives the horrors of the First World War by undermining the institutions of state and army through his very idiocy. This new adaption was specially commissioned by the Gate theatre for their 1999 'Idiots' season.
From Colin Teevan, an adaptation for the stage of Hasek's 'The Good Soldier and his Fortune in the Great War.'
