Spejbl a Hurvínek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spejbl a Hurvínek is a Czech puppet comedy duo. The characters were conceived by Czech Puppeteer Josef Skupa. The two characters have gained international success. They have released many comedy albums, and had their own television show. Each album usually contains one story, about the dimwitted father Josef Spejbl, and his son Hurvínek, who live with another family in the same apartment. The other family also only consists of two people. Ms. Katerina, and her daughter Manicka. All four live with the dog Zeryk, who has the ability to bark words. Though the comedy is aimed at children, there are several inside jokes that are meant for adults. The duo has their own theatre in Prague, in the district of Dejvice.
[edit] History
The theatre was established in 1930 by Josef Skupa. He enterntained both children and adults with his works. After the death of Skupa, the next voice actor to voice the two puppets was Miloš Kirschner.
