Slovak theatre in London is run by young Slovak artists living in London, UK. This vibrant devised theatre with productions on up-to-date topics performs in Slovak and English allowing young adults to make theatre in the foreign country quickly and efficiently, without the requirement of the previous experience from the UK. The theatre crew changes with every new production. STL is a touring company, based in London. Apart from various UK locations, it visits native communities in Prague, Brussels and Slovakia. Current Production MUM, WHAT DID YOU WANT? (60 min) It is a first Slovak theatre play portraying modern grandmothers, who commute from Slovakia to the UK to stay with their families. An authentic drama capturing our lives, getting ever so complicated. The play itself is based on 14 friendly interviews with “flying” grandmas, following principles of the verbatim theatre. It is a MUST SEE for every migrant settled in the UK, especially those who were blessed with babies. What do we actually know about how our mothers - grandmothers feel about being far from the loved ones ?
