Show Trial
October 15th-November 8th

Breakneck Productions

Fascists have taken Prague, democracy has disappeared, and mustaches are sprouting everywhere.
Show Trial is an absurdist reimagining of the 1950 political trial of Milada Horáková, the Czechoslovak
dissident falsely accused of treason by a regime that had already written the verdict. Using real court
transcripts, choreographed confessions, and a healthy disregard for reality, the play turns state propaganda into theatrical farce, satirizing a system where guilt is scripted, truth is manufactured, and history belongs to the victors.
