Through the Eye of the Needle

František Langer's Through the Eye of a Needle, translated by Petr Pecha, adapted and performed by Czech Theater.

Coming: May 2025

The second play in our 2024–2025 season on mismatched relationships, Through the Eye of a Needle is a 1920s romantic comedy written by František Langer, translated by Petr Pecha, and adapted by Czech Theater. A clever poor young woman meets a lost wealthy young man. Will their love end in tears and tragedy... or in a successful milk bar in Prague? 

Join us on a journey back in time to 1925. After one of the worst pandemics in human history and a devastating world war, and just before fascism took hold, there was a pause between the wars, when many things were dark but a trip to the theater was a chance to escape reality and imagine a life that was as light and sweet as a bowl of whipped cream. For our audience: 1920s theater-wear is eagerly welcomed (but not required).
