From Monday 27th May – Friday 1st June audiences can enjoy over 140 performances of 36 productions from 15 different countries around the world! The traditional (and not so traditional) theatres and performance spaces of Prague’s Malá Strana district will once again be filled with international, award-winning, ground-breaking theatre, comedy, children’s shows, story-telling, and more.
The festival team has curated an incredibly diverse range of options for audiences to enjoy – from The Untold Fable of Fritz and King John for family fun, too late night stand-up with Bombay Comedy!
Returning favourites such as the award-winning Pip Utton, Henry Naylor and Emily Carding are back, as well as brand new work from fresh, young performers and producers and shows from Japan, Taiwan, Finland, Australia, and even Ukraine.
Prague Fringe Founder and Director Steve Gove says “It’s going to be a belter!” “We’ve curated our most international Fringe in years, packed full of incredible quality productions from around the world, brand-new works and Czech premieres, and two whole venues dedicated to comedy!
The festival is back in its favourite Malá Strana venues including Divadlo Inspirace, A Studio Rubín, Museum of Alchemists, and Café Club Míšeňská.
Plus this year sees two venues dedicated to comedy – the return of last year’s successful Charles Bridge Comedy Club and a brand new venue in the basement of OG Glenn’s Bar which is hosting a full programme of stand-up and comedy shows. Fan favorite Malostranská beseda is back for the larger-scale productions including the talented young actors from the Australian Shakespeare Company, the 5* musical Happily Ever Poofter, Youtube hit sensation UnErase Poetry – Stories from India from Mumbai, a sexy scientific exploration of the Chemistry Of Love by Dr. Michael Londesborough, MBE, and an exclusive Fringe-version of the Czech legendary (fictional) playwright Jára Cimrman’s the Stand-In performed by the Cimrman English Theatre.
On Thursday 30th May there are international performances taking place with 2 shows performed in the original Italian (Alice No, and Be My Guest), and UnErase Poetry – Stories from India performed in Hindi.
