Women's fight

Klicpera’s comedy, despite being written back in 1827, explores the timeless and ever-present conflict between the female and male worlds. Naturally, the perspective on emancipation in the early 19th century differed greatly from that of today, yet the core remains the same – it is mostly women who feel undervalued and sidelined by men.

This is exactly the case in Klicpera’s play, where the men of a village in the Giant Mountains decide to delegate the task of carrying firewood from the forest to the women. Unsurprisingly, the women rebel, led by Bořena, the wife of the local judge. Characters and cast: Storoh, the Giant Mountains judge (Jaroslav Moučka), Božena, his wife (Jana Dítětová), Babuše (Nelly Gaierová), Smilina (Viola Zinková), Libomira (Jaroslava Pokorná), Dojka (Milena Šebestová), Silka (Jaroslava Obermaierová), guard (Věra Havlatová), Halák (Soběslav Sejk), Rapota (Ivo Gübel), Hruba (Svatopluk Skládal), Slavoš (Bořivoj Navrátil), and Zvykoš (Jan Kotva). Directed by: Jana Bezdíčková.
