When the American army of occupation attempts to inflict their brand of democracy on the Okinawan village of Tobiki, the inhabitants are less than grateful. American dynamism proves no match for Japanese guile, personified by Marlon Brando in one of his rare comedy roles as the wily Japanese interpreter Sakini.

(Pocitani Ovecek ) starring
Zaneta Fuchsova
Nine-year-old Hanka has spent her life in a cardiology clinic: it has become her home, and the staff her family. Hanka is quite happy, making her rounds, visiting the disreputable porter, ordering the nurses about, 'swishing up and down corridors like a cow's tail', as her doctor says. But a new cleaner, Anezka, opens Hanka's eyes to the world beyond the hospital gates.
Counting Sheep features a wonderful performance by Zaneta Fuchsova as the impertinent Hanka and was directed by Karel Kachnya , whose production of The Golden Eels was shown in the last season of Globe
Theatre.
