Synopsis: | The premiere of Gabriela Preissovas Czech masterpiece, later forming the basis for J.B. Foersters famous opera, Eva, in its first ever English translation.

The claustrophobic class hierarchies, prejudices and gossip of a small village are dissected in this moving tale of sacrifice, loss and hope. This is a script-in-hand performance by the Invertigo Take-over ensemble. | |||||
