Thank you for all who came to see LONG,WIDE and SHORT-SIGHTED, it seems to becoming an increasingly popular show.
Our next show is the STAND-IN on April 24th; however, as of today, [11/4/] there are only 16 tickets left, so if you want to see this hilarious show, you need to get a move on.
Tickets available below.
OUR NEXT SHOW AFTER THAT IS:
PLUM
MAY 15th: 19:00
The time is fixed – but Hájek isn’t.
Retired signalman Hájek returns to his old station to claim the plums from a tree he planted years ago—now under the watch of the lonely young signalman Patka. By tradition, the fruit should belong to Patka, but Hájek insists it’s his… at least until the clock strikes six, when it all passes to the railway.
With no help from Patka, Hájek brings in reinforcements. But as a parade of eccentric visitors descends on the station, the plan begins to fall apart. Conversations drift, attention wanders, and one thought is quickly replaced by another.
Only one man stays on task. And time is running out.

KNIHOVNA VÁCLAVA HAVLA [ The Vaclav Havel Library]
Recently we were guests of Ian Willoughby at the Vaclav Havel Library. It was a great opportunity for us to explain more about how CET came about, the translations process and Czech culture. If you would like to watch it, there is a link to the recorded video below.
AND FINALLY, THE USUAL BLURB.
THE ‘CIMRMAN IN ENGLISH’ SCEPTICS OR…
‘The MacDonaldisation of Cimrman.’
If you still have friends or members of your family who are still sceptical about how the ‘Genius of Cimrman’ will work in English or perceive us as the “MacDonaldisation of Cimrman’, please help them to understand that it is not the case.
We do our utmost to ensure that the ‘ Czechness’ of every translation is rigorously maintained.
Therefore, the best way to help our cause, or ‘Mission’ – which is to spread the good word of JC beyond the borders of The Czech Republic – is to buy the said sceptic[s] a ticket[s] to one of our shows.
AND OTHER STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW
Please try and arrive at the theatre at 18.15 or at 6.15pm. Often it takes a long time to sort out tickets, get a drink at the bar etc…we just want to start promptly at 19:00 or 7pm.
SURTITLES: All of our performances have English surtitles above the stage. [ Except for the courtyard performance which we sometimes play in August]. This is to help our audience’s understanding and enjoyment of the show – especially those who might feel uncertain about their level of English.
THE BEST SEATS TO MAKE USE OF THE SURTITLES IN IS THE BALCONY
