Jan Neubauer wrote that the actor Luděk Kopřiva, whom he described as a performer of small but significant roles, died on October 2, 2004. He stated that Kopřiva graduated from the conservatory and then from DAMU. In 1949, according to Neubauer, he was sent to Ostrava along with the entire group of graduates as a punishment for staging Mayakovsky's play The Ice Shower at Disk, which angered the communists. https://t.co/s7i7OHJDsE #LuděkKopřiva #vzpomínka #divadlo (translated)
