Waiting for André

André was a star whose light three times broke through to penetrate the all-encompassing murk.

In everyone’s life, there are people who exercise a profound influence on us but whom we don’t really ‘know’. This is the point of departure for Hard Times’ production of the seriocomic monologue Waiting for André, a one-man show written and performed by John Arthur Sweet, who is making his first visit to Fringe Festival Praha (and, in fact, his first visit to the Czech Republic).

John Arthur Sweet is a writer/performer based in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Waiting for André is his fourth one-man show. It was first performed at the Fringe Festival in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, in August 2008.

The show runs just under an hour. For more information, go to www.fringe.cz.

Doing the fringe means being adventurous and taking a chance. The

discover. The intrepid fringe explorer will come across the exotic, the
strange and the bizarre, be entertained, moved and amused, taking in
not just one but several shows a day in their big fringe adventure.

fantastic venues across beautiful Malá Strana over 9 very special
nights in May we hope you are up for the challenge, pack your bags and
hop on board.
