“The Marvelous Land of Oz” Adaptation Comes to Divadlo D21 in Prague

L. Frank Baum’s “The Marvelous Land of Oz” will be performed as a stage adaptation in Prague on December 20, 2024 at Divadlo D21. Organized by the theatre group The Mad and Merry Men, the production is a charity event aiming to support victims of the recent floods across the Czech Republic. Instead of going with the famous first book, this adaptation brings Baum’s second volume in the Oz series to life: The story follows Tip, a boy fleeing from the witch Mombi, who joins forces with excentric characters like Jack Pumpkinhead, the Scarecrow or the strange professor Woggle Bug – who, just as his name says, is a giant Insect. Together, they journey to the Emerald City, encountering themes of identity and transformation along the way, making it a timeless story that resonates with audiences of all ages. „Tip is a peculiar creature of remarkable eagerness and presence of mind, ready to cause mischief for his own amusement”, says actress Rozálie Andělová. „He is relatable, good-natured and well-intending, an embodiment of idealism – something our world is in need of, now more than ever.” Baum wrote The Marvelous Land of Oz as part of a 14-book series set in...

Eggnog Done Right: How to Make Vaječný Koňak at Home This Christmas

Milk or heavy cream, eggs, sugar, spices, and something slightly stronger. The combination of ingredients is well-known all over the world. In the Czech Republic, it’s called vaječný likér, vaječný koňak, ajrkoňak, vaječňák. The rest of the world calls it eggnog, rompope, or koquito. Eggnog has a rich tradition even in the Czech Republic. Due to the simplicity of preparation and limited possibilities during the communist era, people prepared eggnog at home for many generations. After 1989, the commercial product range has expanded but eggnog is a beverage that is still created according to inherited family recipes. Various recipes claim they’re ‘the best’, ‘the most simple’, or ‘100% homemade’.

The Czech Christmas Tradition of Mikuláš

The charming tradition of St. Nicholas falls on the eve of St. Nicholas Day, December 5th.  If you find yourself walking the streets on that evening, you may run into a group of strange characters: St. Nicholas (Mikuláš), the Angel (anděl) who represents the Good, and the Devil (čert) representing the Evil. All wear costumes. Mikuláš looks a bit like Santa Claus whose origin was supposedly inspired by St. Nicholas. All three characters walk the streets, stopping children and asking them if they were good in the past year. Most kids say yes and sing a song or recite a short poem. They are then rewarded with sweets,  candy or other treats, which are handed out by the Angel. Bad kids would be put in the Devil’s sack and taken to hell, or would only get a sack of potatoes or coal instead of candy – of course it does not really happen!   What does the tradition look like? On the evening of December 5th, Mikulas knocks on the doors of Czech households with the devil and an angel alongside him, handing out treats to good children. The devil’s work, on the other hand, is to spook and symbolically...
