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.
Tickets available below:
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
