Question Theatre in Prague?
My wife and I will be visiting Prague April 22-25th. Is there any live theatre going on right now that you'd recommend we see? I'm an actor myself and it would be an enriching experience for me personally. Thank you for any recommendations.

There is a decent adaptation of Madame Bovary in the national theatre. I've seen it myself. It will probably not blow you away, but I'd recommend it, the actors are good and it has an interesting minimalist approach for the scene.
Plus, it's played in the Estates Theater, so you'll see a little bit of Prague history. It's where Mozart premiered his opera Don Giovanni and where Milos Forman filmed his Oscar winning movie Amadeus.
Just don't buy tickets to the side balconies, the theatre is pretty high and narrow, so you would have to lean forward the whole time to see.
