Annotation: Since Hasek's comic masterpiece was first produced in 1920s Prague, there have been countless attempts to stage this sprawling story of the seeming idiot, Svejk, who survives the horrors of the First World War through use of his very idiocy. This new adaptation draws on contemporaneous styles such as futurism and surrealism, as well as the ideas of Hasek's fellow Czech, Franz Kafka.

Publisher Description:

Since Hasek's comic masterpiece was first produced in 1920s Prague, there have been countless attempts to stage this sprawling story of the seeming idiot, Svejk, who survives the horrors of the First World War by undermining the institutions of state and army through his very idiocy.
