On the spare stage of J. Svoboda, director M. Macháček focuses on exploring the relationships between the characters and their motivations. In this version, the story is gradually revealed like a detective story, from the ghost’s message through the play-within-a-play to the murderous finale. Though not originally received well, the production became a Prague theatre hit before closing in 1988.
