The Loves of Cass McGuire staring Jirina Bohdalova

Directed by Pavel Kral & Dasa Belacikova

Tragicomic game of love Mrs Katty (The Loves of Cass McGuire, 1966) Irish playwright Brian Friel passes from the repertoire of the Vinohrady Theater, where it was placed very shortly (February 2004).  Mrs. Katty was for me one of the most difficult roles ever. Postava Katty is in position, which I like - poised between laughter and tears," says Jirina Bohdalová.

Story Kattyina life is based on a discussion with the audience. Katty without sentiment recalls her life, return to the family's younger brother and stay at home for the elderly.Despite all the hardships and losses Katty spirit remains strong and undaunted, Jirina Bohdalova acquires a beautiful, human dimension.

Frielův text is not so coarse language as the majority of Irish dramatists, which for us in recent years, getting more and more popular. It is rather a stage of poems, which is not as melancholic tones as well as humorous. And why are we so close to the Irish game? According to the Prague show's director , that goes back to our roots that we are here , even long before we became Slavs.
