Vinohrady Theater

This guide to Vinohrady Theater in Prague follows Anna Letenska, an actress who once played tough, funny, ordinary women on this stage, through the aftermath of the 1942 assassination of Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich in Prague. You'll hear how her and her husband's quiet work sheltering people who fled the regime, and a friendship with a doctor tied to the paratroopers, drew the attention of the manhunt that followed. Look for her bust inside the theater, and for how the building itself changed hands during those same years.
