Katka’s annoying person J :

This person is really arrogant and stupid. He cannot value my work even when I do more for him than
I should. I would like t’ kick him in the balls/nuts.


Iva’s annoying person:

Someone who is sometimes really annoying me is my roommate. First of all, I would like to say that
she’s really nice sometimes. BUT! In our digs we’ve got some basic rules: for example, don’t
interrupt other roommates with loud noises, don’t leave your dirty dishes on the table. She always
ignores that and she tries to make slaves out of us.

whole gains stonger dynamism, visual attractivity and other parameters we normally value in a good
interpretative theater.

Rovina silné prézentnosti „experta“ je tak ohraničena a akcentována, celek inscenace naopak získává
výraznější dynamiku, vizuální atraktivitu a další parametry, které oceňujeme u kvalitního
interpretačního divadla.
