Werich Jan, Horníček Miroslav: Předscény (2x CD) - CD

The basic stage performance in all plays of the Liberated Theater by Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich have always been pre-scenes since the Vest Pocket Revue. At that time, they were created by chance to quickly entertain the audience by gossiping two comedians in front of the curtain before solving the problem on stage. The success of the first pre-stage then introduced a tradition that significantly influenced the magical appeal of V + W humor.

Miroslav Horníček took Jiří Voskovec' s place in the renewed productions of the Liberated Theater in 1955-60 at the ABC Theater in the pre-stages. In the grip of hard Stalinist censorship, the pair created humor that acted as an oasis of free speech, cleverness and wit. Their duel with stupidity is still relevant today.

The recordings, preserved in the Supraphon archive, are based on this double album completely, supplemented by a bonus of uncensored recordings from the private archive of Jan Borovička (once employed in the promotion of the ABC Theater) and preserved thanks to his son Jiří Borovička.

The humor of W + H in their pre-scenes is timeless!
