Run, tranny, run! – theatre play

Grotesque theatre is one of the most attractive kinds of theatre.
“In the times of long-ago gods, heroic chiefs and psychopathic dictators, in a land wracked with unrest, a heroine was born. She was Zdena. A mighty princess strengthened with the glow of the Olympics. Spikes, passion, danger.

Her courage will change the world. What does it matter that there is a dark moustache emerging from under her nose – the main thing is that she should break records on the running track. Soon she will become the darling of Czechoslovakia and the whole athletics world. But those she leaves behind her will start to probe the secrets of her success.

This new play by Tomáš Dianiška was inspired by the scandalous fate of a Czechoslovak athlete whose sporting successes were erased from our modern history.”
