Divadlo v Dlouhé, Theatre venue in Staré Město, Prague, Czech Republic
Divadlo v Dlouhé is a theatre in the Old Town of Prague with several stages of different sizes, offering contemporary plays, musicals, and puppet shows. The resident company performs throughout the year across these spaces, giving the venue a busy and varied programme.
The theatre opened in 1996, not long after the political changes of 1989 that brought new freedom to Czech cultural life. Since then it has grown into a regular part of the Prague theatre scene, with a company that has built its own identity over the years.
The venue showcases performances that highlight the musical and physical abilities of its actors through alternative and cabaret productions. Visitors experience artistic expressions that step outside conventional theatrical forms.
The theatre is easy to reach on foot from the centre of the Old Town, and it is worth checking the programme in advance since some shows are aimed at children or young audiences. Tickets go on sale on weekdays from around midday and before weekend performances.
The repertoire includes shows made for audiences ranging from young children to high school students, which is not common among theatres of this type in Prague. This means school groups are a regular presence in the building on many afternoons.
