[edit] Capek's play

It's not satisfactory that this article is about both the play (minimally) and the opera, and I am thinking of creating a separate article for the play - providing I can find sufficient well-sourced information. I have been looking around to see if a date for its premiere is available, but all I can find is an apparently erroneous date of November 21, 1920, plus the statement that when Janacek saw it in December 1922 (the 10th, not the 12th, according to the Viking Guide), it was about three weeks after the first performance. It's now looking as if that might have been on November 21, 1922, but is there a good source to confirm this? And in which theatre was the play first performed? Incidentally, I've looked at the Czech-language Wikipedia and the information doesn't seem to be available there.

The other question is, what are the differences between the play and the opera? --GuillaumeTell 21:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Just noting that I've removed the stuff about the play to The Makropulos Affair, an article which now needs to be expanded. --GuillaumeTell 17:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
