Synopsis
An evening of two one-acts by Tom Stoppard. In the first, English schoolboys present two short versions of Hamlet in their own language, Dogg. In the second, a real-life production of Macbeth, staged in a Czech living room by playwright Pavel Kahout when the government banned public performances, is recreated and juxtaposed with the police inquiry.
