Prague’s Old Town Theatre Project presents the quintessential Sam Shepard play, ‘Buried Child’ . It’s fraught with horrific imagery and deeply probing explorations into American pop mythology. Performed in English, this sparse production recreates the dark secret of a down-and-out rural American family. Their alcoholic resignation and complacency is about to be blown away by the arrival of an unknown grandson, Vince. The effect of the collision shakes the family to its foundations and forces a resolution no one ever wanted.

This Christmas season extravaganza offers the usual lively mix of trapeze acts, juggling, unicycles and other traditional acts as well animals to captivate the kids – a tame black panther to stroke, a tiger on a very tight leash and a menagerie of jumping and skipping pigs, goats and Shetland ponies. It’s good family fun for kids who are old enough to sit still for two-and-a-half hours – including an interval for candyfloss and popcorn.
