Prague - ABC Theatre Divadlo ABC

The ABC Theatre (Divaldo ABC) is one of Prague's long running theatres. The theatre's original focus was on dialogue, with few props and little by way of special effects. Performances today are mainly musicals and plays. One of the ABC Theatre's claim to fame comes from Havel, the former president, who worked as a stage hand here in the 1950s. At that time he was only in his early 20s and not yet recognized for his acting or writing skills. The ABC Theatre, or Divadlo ABC, is more oriented towards locals than tourists, with performances in Czech only. Nonetheless it is a long standing institution in Prague and worth seeing.
