Two comedies written by dissident playwright Pavel Kohout in the 1970s with the intention of being performed in private in peoples\u2019 homes are being revived by the MANA theatre in Prague's Vr\u0161ovice district \u2013 but not on a regular theatre stage. Instead, the plays are being staged in two small spaces that are evocative of the environments where they were originally performed.
