Baron Prášil is a story of a man who was not afraid to dream. My favorite subjects are history and fantasy. Both are successfully interconnected here. The literature as well as the theater works with the most inner emotions of a man.

A beautiful verse is like a bow sliding over our inner srtings. The poet doesn‘t resound his thoughts, but ours.

While working on the play I saw the costumes of all characters in my head. The stage setting was also created in a spurt of a moment.

It is very educational and inspirational to walk thru history, to live events which changed its course. To peep into people‘s minds in every epoch of human events. It was not easy all the time. People always has to fi ght for their survival and that didn‘t change. Only the means of the fi ght are diff erent.

It is very enriching to be at the birth of a theatrical project from beginning to the end. To see, how the characters get their lives, how the relationships originated, how the plot thickens to the happy resolution. Everything happening on the stage has its reasons and logic like in the history.

Everything bad in the life comes from spiritual emptiness, boredom and laziness. That all will happen if one gets to use living at the expense of others.
