A Vienna based theatre group that I'm a part of is putting on a production of The White Plage by Karel Čapek. This satire was written in Czechoslovakia in 1937. It takes place in a fictional country being led by a dictator, thirsty to fulfil his life’s purpose by invading the neighbouring countries. At the same time, the world is threatened by an increasingly dangerous pandemic. Will the country’s leaders choose to fight the mortal threat of the White Plague or embark on a new war? In this classic, Čapek critiques populism, extremism, dictatorship and belligerency in a context that rings very true to modern day society. I will be playing the dictator on September 28 and 29! Come check out the play and meet up for a drink afterwards! Tickets (15 EUR) are available here: https://ntry.at/thewhiteplague
