Prague Fringe Prologue: An interim digital celebration of our 20th anniversary. 

Due to the ongoing effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, we working on rescheduling our 'main event' to September when we hope live theatre will once again be safe and open for all.

In the meantime, to celebrate what would have been our 20th anniversary festival this May, we've created Prague Fringe Prologue, an incredible opportunity for performers with high-quality video recordings of their work to be seen on a national scale here in the Czech Republic. 

Working in partnership with the Czech Republic's leading theatre streaming site, Dramox (think Netflix for theatre) all successful applicants will be considered for a streaming contract.

From Friday 28th May - Saturday 5th June 2021 the 'Committee's Favourites' selection will be presented worldwide via the Prague Fringe website - viewers will stream via a donation system. 

Selected shows will then be available for Czech audiences to stream via Dramox.
