Overhead the bombs fall. Outside the soldiers hunt him and his ‘kind´ down. Deep in the basement of a deserted and derelict house Nathan – a Jew – hides. His only comfort is the tales he loved as a child, the tales of ‘Nathan the Wise’ – tales he hopes may now save his life!
Teesside University and Middlesbrough College BA (Hons) Creating Theatre students present this dynamic physical adaptation of Gotthold Lessing´s eighteenth century play celebrating religious tolerance.
‘Nathan the Wise´ will receive it´s world premier at the 2010 Praha Fringe Festival at Divadlo Čertovka, Nosticova 2a, Malá Strana, Praha 1 from Tuesday June 1st to Saturday June 5th at 15.30 (16.20).
Pragues eagerly awaited annual marathon of theatre, dance, comedy
and music from around the globe bursts to life on May 28th for 9 days.
The Prague Fringe Festival, now in its 9th year attracts a growing
band of visitors from overseas as well as being increasingly popular
with Czech audiences. The event creates a great international atmosphere
where those on holiday can mix with locals and enjoy an eclectic mix of
high quality and reasonably priced non-elitist theatrical
entertainment.

you please. Shows take place from the afternoon to late evening, most
last for an hour or so with time between to zip from venue to venue and
