Paris is the City of Light; Prague is, (well), a Little Bit Dark
A Play About Prague in the 1990s
The 1990’s: Francis Fukayama’s philosophical, nonfiction masterpiece, The End of History and the Last Man, is touted by the Clinton Administration as a cause celebre, advocating that with the end of communism, peace and prosperity can only reign supreme in the new, free market, post Soviet world order. Arriving in post-communist era Prague for this much advocated time of accord and tranquility are two polar opposite Americans. One: an American businessman, who must have missed his corporate bookstore endcap read, The End of History, and is distrusting of others, and is especially dreading the then-annual October 16th, Prague Anti-Globalization, Anti-McDonald’s Day protests. And an award-winning poet, who believes that the Czechs, stifled by years of communist repression, are waiting on a free-spirited la boheme-American author like him. Packed with a cast of Prague writers, actors and comics, Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Pardoner's Tale meets the 1990’s city of Prague in the Prague Harman Street Players’ Paris is the City of Light, Prague is (Well) a Little Bit Dark, a play which will harken us back to another era when the future of humanity seemed wide open and The End of History was within reach . . .
