The production of Petr Zelenka’s most successful dark comedy Tales of Common Insanity [Příběhy obyčejného šílenství] closed on Sunday, 13 September 2009.
The world premiere at the Dejvické Theatre was on November 16, 2001, which means that the show ran in repertory for the incredible 8 years’! Hopefully, the success will be repeated in another theatre... In the meantime, the play was translated into several languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Russian, Hungarian etc.) and successfully staged abroad. There is also a movie version written and directed by Zelenka.
