An original comedy by Zhruba Theatre, 60 minutes long.

What do you do with a house after grandmother passes, when there are five heirs? And how did the Smirici family from Smirici, inhabitants of Hrubá Skála Castle, deal with a similar situation 400 years ago? The wheel of fate spins at full speed, and the claim to inheritance can dissolve just as easily as the hope for a free Kingdom of the lands of the Czech crown.

About the venue: Hrubá Skála Castle

Hrubá Skála Castle stands on sandstone rocks up to 60 m high in the Hruboskalsko nature reserve in the Bohemian Paradise, about 6 km south-east of Turnov. The original castle of Skála is first documented in 1353 as a possession of Hynek of Waldstein; the Smiřice family rebuilt it as a Renaissance château in the 16th century, and it received its current neo-Gothic form in 1859. Today it serves as a hotel and congress centre; the courtyard and the castle's lookout tower are open to the public. The castle is also known as a filming location for the fairy-tale film Prince Bajaja.
