Illustrated with cartoons and text in Czech, this book has chapters devoted to each of Werich's many collaborators. Jan Werich' s collaboration with Jiri Voskovec and Jaroslav Jezek lasted for more than 10 years. Their partnership was a platform for their numerous left-wing political satires, most notably in the Osvobozene divadlo (Liberated absurd theatre) , a reaction against bourgeois values and the horrors of World Theatre). The trio's work took inspiration from Dada, with its love of the War I. In the years leading up to World War II and the closure of Czechoslovak theatres, Werich, Voskovec and Jezek were forced into exile in the United States in 1938, where Voskovec and Jezek remained for the rest of their lives. Werich returned to his homeland five years later, and started a partnership with Miroslav Hornicek. He also worked with famous puppeteer Jiri Trnka to write modern fairy tales. With his new business partner Miroslav Hornicek at his side, he re-staged many of the plays he had created with Voskovec in the 1930s but set them in the political content specific to the time.Oatmeal boards in a worn dustjacket.
