Synopsis
Mountain Hotel: houses a motley group of guests striving to live with each other. Among them a blocked writer, a sentimental Russian count, and Vilem Pechar sunbathing on the grass. There's Rachel whose life appears to revolve around knitting and sex, Vilem's wife ministering to his infidelities and Liza coping with the count. Two of the guests look on in silence. The hotel staff has problems too; and five of the men are called Joseph.
Our Review:
3 November 2008
The interesting season of Vaclav Havel plays continues at the enterprising Orange Tree with a double bill from the 1970s. Interesting, enterprising ... oh dear, that sounds like a trumpet for something best avoided. I’ll be telling you next that the season’s “worthwhile.”
Well, it jolly well is. Havel is a wonderful writer and we should be so lucky to sit here enjoying his plays without having had to suffer, as he did, under Communist censorship and vigilantism, let alone spend four and a half years in prison. Admittedly Havel himself then had a few perks as President of former Czechoslovakia. But he’s one of the great heroic figures of our times, and these plays show how prescient, cunning, witty and brave he was in periods of fear and repression.
And they are deftly, spiritedly presented at the Orange Tree in lovely productions by Sam Walters and Geoffrey Beevers. Mountain Hotel...
