Fifty + Q&A with playwright Petr Zelenka

Internationally successful architect David had it all – money, fame, family, women… But one affair too many ended his marriage and he got fleeced in the divorce. David now lives on a houseboat, trying to figure out whether there is any point in striving for a different kind of life. An accident-prone man in his fifties who is desperately seeking a last thrill in a threesome – a birthday present he wished for but never received. An idea that does not go down well with his girlfriend. Written for the cult Prague Dejvice Theatre, this 2022 Czech Theatre Critics winner is a conversational comedy about ageing (dis)gracefully full of wit and politically incorrect humour. A staged reading in English at the most atmospheric bar in London, part of a re-imagined and restored Grade II listed theatre.

Director: Maja Milatovic-Ovadia, Translator: Eva Daníčková  

The Coronet is a little, late-victorian jewel of a theatre – with the most atmospheric bar in the known universe. The Telegraph
