TIME BARRED BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Inspired by the hitherto unclarified case of the strange death by priest Coufal in 1981, the authors of the latest production at the SkRAT Theatre are studying the mechanisms which enabled, within the secret police ŠtB, the building up of a parallel power structure and mutual checking of individual members of staff including colleagues at all levels of this organisation.
