Karolína Zoe Meixnerová: Literary hysteria

At school they told you the year a writer was born, what year they died, and what they wrote. Literary hysteria proves that their lives and times were far more gripping. Get to know them as never before.

Explore Vrchlický, Stroupežnický, the Mrštík brothers, and other famous playwrights in the hysteria of the National Theatre and their life roles. Literary hysteria rids Czech literature’s famous figures of labels and reflects their lives as they truly occurred. More or less. Not through a grueling lecture but rather a talk bordering on a stand up that presents them as real people, often fascinating ones. How did their personal dramas influence our (literary) history? Literature is sexy. Fall in love with it!
