About

An authentic, funny translation of the Czech comedy classic, by the hilarious Cimrman English Theatre. Set in 1910, a small Czech theatre company who having lost some company members, recruit the renowned Czech actor, Karel Infeld Prácheňský as the The Stand-In for the premiere of a new play, Vlasta. As Prácheňský is unable to remember his lines, the names of the other characters, or indeed which play he is performing in, chaos inevitably ensues.

An incredible opportunity to catch a piece of Czech theatre history in the very venue in which fictional Czech legend Jára Cimrman was introduced to the world.

5* - The play was AWESOME! For all those who are afraid Cimrman is a Czech-only thing - no, it's not!

5* - I saw The Stand-in last night and really enjoyed it. We laughed throughout and I can thoroughly recommend it.

5* - Yesterday was my 3rd time with you guys, and I laughed all over again right from the start.
