THREE DAYS

Roman Sikora

Genre: bitter comedy
Cast: 3 men, 1 woman (variable)

Mr B.:          And then I suddenly see. Simply something. Something yellow. More yellow. Than the feeling. Even big. That is waving. At me. Waving and saying, something. It says. It just says: „Kuk!“

STICKER:      Peekaboo!

Mr B.:         Didn’t really. Didn’t know. What it can be. All the time “peekaboo“. It was doing at me. Peekaboo. And it was waving, somehow.

STICKER:     Peekaboo! I’m your distress warrant. I’m a sticker that says “foreclosed”. Peekaboo!

This play subtitled “an optimistic epic about success loosely inspired by a real story“ follows the most popular play by Roman Sikora Confession of a Masochist. Mr B. is a successful banker, he knows how to write addenda to the contracts with the tiniest letters and he hides the glasses that belong to the pensioners who take credit at his bank so that they sign the agreements. But then his knee lets him down. It breaks and Mr B ends up first in the hospital and then is gradually falling on the social ladder all the way to the society of homeless people. But the same rules of the market as at the bank can work here as well if you have the skills. “Because each person is an individual. Naturally free. And that’s why everyone is responsible for himself, for himself. For being happy. As well as being unhappy. Because responsibility, that must be, that everyone must have. Each. One. Even you.“

 
The play is available in the Czech original and German and Bosnian translation.
