In an effort to rejuvinate English-language theatre in Prague, The Prague Post is launching what will become an annual theater event.  The Prague Post Playwriting Contest, which will feature an elite panel of judges that include former United Artists President Norbert Auerbach and Samuel Beckett collaborator and co-author, Barbara Bray.
