Presents No.2 At The Train Station (Ve Stanici Neize)
This octet of 20-something Czechs performs with big smiles, frenetic enthusiasm and barrels of humour. Inspired by a scene from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, this version sees Anna diverted from her fatal mission by an eccentric band of railway workers. The slapstick storyline ends so bizarrely you cannot fail to see the funny side. Don't miss this charming, young, physical theatre company from Prague - a real highlight for the Festival!
No knowledge of Czech required
