ABBA Scenes From a Marriage

ABOUT

Author: Pavel Klusák

Stage director: Josef Doležal

Money, money, money – Must be funny?

An incredible story of one of the most famous bands in the world. Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid are back! And broken hearts and flared trousers with sequins along with them.

ABBA became a music legend and challenged numerous prejudices against pop music. Since the Swedish band was made up of two married couples, everyone thought that they had little to no chance to succeed. Fans love single musicians. ABBA conquered the world, and a crucial role in this was played by Stig Andersson – perhaps the craziest manager of all time.

Don’t expect any romantic scenes with ABBA’s music in the background! The play is built on absurd situations and ironic plot twists and makes fun of social norms, pop music, and marriage standards. It shows the vast difference between the idealised expectations of the fans and the chaotic reality of the band. Where are those happy days? Can’t you hear their SOS?
