"Two childhood friends become puppeteers, each performing with the same beloved folk characters, Franz and Schnitzel. Fipsi, ambitious and naive, aligns herself with the ruling government, the Common Good. Carl, headstrong and outspoken, is forced underground as his satirical shows parody the censorship and oppression of the Common Good. Based upon the illegal puppet shows staged in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, Tinka's New Dress examines propaganda versus truth, compliance versus censorship, and the collective society versus the individual" - taken from the jacket about Tinka's New Dress. Locale: Canada; Czechoslovakia. (Theater, Drama, Nazi Party, Plays, Playwrights, Puppetry).
