Music comedy with songs recast in verse by Jaromír Nohavica.
“Painted on Glass” has become a hit on Czech, Slovak and Polish stages since its very premiere. The leading character is Jura Jánošík, a wanderer through the mountains on the Slovak-Polish border. And so the above-mentioned Polish authors seized upon the legend and wrote a very funny play, moreover a play enriched with a load of such great songs which we can encounter in the similar Czech play Balada pro banditu (Ballad for a Bandit). Painted on Glass had been performed with huge success for years …, until Jaromír Nohavica gave it a new dimension with his amazing new translation, or rather recast in verse.
