Bratislava's Drama Theatre Premieres New Production Combining Shakespeare and Banned Müller Play

The Drama Theatre of the Bratislava National Theatre is staging a new production that weaves together a Shakespeare classic and Heiner Müller's Mauser — a play that was once banned under communist censorship. Director Paška adapted and combined texts from both authors into a single work, with lead roles performed by actors A. Bárta and R. Roth. Müller's Mauser, written in 1970, was suppressed in several Eastern Bloc countries due to its provocative treatment of political violence and ideology, making its inclusion in this production a notable artistic and historical choice.
