Blood, Love & Rhetoric Theatre

The three founders met while working with various Prague theatre companies including Prague Playhouse, Akanda, Black Snow, and the Prague Shakespeare Festival, and launched BLR with a production of 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' in November 2009. The company expanded its repertoire to include works by Pinter, Mamet, Havel, Marlowe, Buchner, Chekhov, Durrenmatt, and Ibsen alongside original writing. A recurring improv comedy programme, The Improv Comedy Show, grew into a weekly Thursday evening fixture drawing international audiences. BLR also developed a training arm offering acting and improv classes and corporate workshops, cementing its role as both a producing theatre and a community hub for English-language performers in Prague.

BLR operates at the intersection of scripted theatrical drama and unscripted comedic performance, pairing a classical and contemporary play canon with a distinctly North American and British improv sensibility. The ensemble draws on an international cast of professional actors and comedians, mixing traditional Canadian, US, and UK improv formats with a European theatrical register.
