Night of Theatres at the Václav Havel Library
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: November 21, 2015, 19:00 – 24:00
The Night of Theatres erases the border between the auditorium and the stage, between dream and reality. It is a night when, without exaggeration, anything can happen. For the Václav Havel Library it is also a unique opportunity to allow Václav Havel to speak in his own words – via the plays, which have lost nothing of their poeticism or power since they were written.
