Scene Theatre Sydney in partnership with the Castlereagh Hotel presents a modern stage adaptation of Europe’s beloved comic novel, The Good Soldier Švejk.

Cheerful, unshakeable, unpredictable and seemingly simple, Josef Švejk is one of Europe’s most beloved comic characters. As he moves through a world of military orders, officialdom and absurd authority, Švejk survives, and quietly subverts, a world that has gone completely mad.

Adapted by Scene Theatre Sydney Artistic Director Carol Dance, this entertaining 90-minute production combines comedy, satire and thought-provoking observations about authority and human nature.

Performances take place in the intimate King George Room at the heritage-listed Castlereagh Boutique Hotel, conveniently located in Sydney CBD near Gadigal and Town Hall stations.

Guests can enjoy a drink before the performance, with the theatre bar opening 45 minutes before showtime.
