The Big Zebra, or What's Your Name?
Divadlo Palace, Prague
A comedy about why we do (or don't) run from our problems.
Christian has a "condition". He can only stay with each woman for a short time. He was married to Gisele, but eventually horror struck and he felt an irresistible urge to escape. To ease his conscience at least somewhat, he took out a high life insurance policy in his wife's name and faked his own death by drowning while fishing. He has successfully pulled off this trick twice in his life and is now planning to do it a third time. But this time, fate throws a wrench in his plans: a childhood friend who recognizes him from a random newspaper photo and comes to visit him.
Christian, who always had everything meticulously planned, suddenly finds himself forced to improvise and comes face to face with all his "widows" and his new fiancée. Will he manage to pull off this unenviable situation a third time?
