...Czech Surgeon-Playwright Frantisek Langer is the last production of the eleventh Theatre Guild season. It is a success story in the mid-European idiom. Alik is the silent, dawdling son of a millionaire. All that he subsequently becomes, his redemption from a life of complete inertia, he owes to a girl, Susi.
