ČARODĚJKY ZE SALEMU v Divadle J. K. Tyla v Plzni
by Krystof Petrasek - March 27, 2024


What did our critic think of ČARODĚJKY ZE SALEMU at Divadlo J. K. Tyla V Plzni? Po 55 letech od první premiéry se do Plzně vrátila inscenace Čarodějky ze Salemu Arthura Millera. Jeho dílo je silně politickou hrou zasazenou na pozadí skutečné historické události, čarodějnických procesů v Salemu. Hra je reakcí na procesy poloviny 20. století v USA, tzv. Mccarthismus, kdy byli nejen umělci, ale hlavně federální úředníci stíháni za vykonstruované vazby na komunistickou stranu.
