Event Description: Almost a Proud Princess
(Family Musical)
Almost a Proud Princess is an original Slovak family musical by Michal Babiak and Milan Malinovský. It is loosely based on the Czech folk tale Potrestaná pýcha (Punished Pride) from the collection Národní báchorky a pověsti II by Božena Němcová. The tale is well-known thanks to a 1952 film adaptation starring Alena Vránová in the leading role. Our version of the story slightly differs from the literary and film versions, as it was created for a theatrical environment. Audiences can look forward to new plot twists and new characters—such as the evil witch Černorada, the funny jester, and the confused King Polnočník.
We believe that this fairy tale musical by the Divadlo bez masky (Theater Without Masks) will be enjoyed by the audience, and it will be loved not only by children but also by their parents and grandparents.
