Just one month after private firms such as Vodafone and Skoda wrote an open letter to Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala calling for marriage equality, Czech theatres across the country followed suit. The Goose on a String theatre in Brno, is one of the participating art institutions. I spoke with Martin Sládeček, Artistic Director of the theatre, about why it was important to take a stand on this issue.
“In our country, there is vast support amongst men and women throughout the regions for equal marriage. But our politicians still somehow look past this when it comes to the matter. We had the urge to call on our prime minister and the Czech government to pay attention to public opinion and to support equal marriage for all couples. Through this letter, we’ve tried to tell them that they need to pay attention to this issue.”
