BELLA DONNA

Comedy

 

Carmen, a famous cookbook author, has nothing against men, but sooner or later every partner she has starts to annoy her. It seems she has found a solution to prevent this. Instead of a decoction of herbs that stimulate erotic pleasures, her lover is given a drink made from the nightshade plant – Atropa bella-donna – on New Year's Eve. However, the seemingly ingenious plan is disrupted by the arrival of her daughter and her fiancé.

 

A brilliant black comedy by award-winning Austrian playwright Stefan Vögel, starring Kateřina Brožová, features a multitude of crazy plots and surprising denouements.
