Description
A recording of a theatrical performance. A Chekhovian tragicomedy about people aiming high and those who have irretrievably fallen from the top. Humor, masterful wordplay, and a grotesque view of social hustle – the best of Václav Havel can be found in the production of the National Moravian-Silesian Theatre, which is interwoven with references to Chekhov's Cherry Orchard and Shakespeare's King Lear. Witness the gripping end of Chancellor Rieger's career as he stumbles between his political opponents, tabloid journalists, a dominant girlfriend, and other women in his life while clearing out the state villa. Jan Fišar shines in the lead role of Chancellor Rieger, for which he received a nomination for the Thálie Award.
