Radúz and Mahulena

Radúz and Mahulena is an 1898 stage play by Czech novelist Julius Zeyer.[1] It was made into a film in 1970, directed by Petr Weigl.

Story

Zeyer's dramatic poem is a love story, combining classical fairy-tale motifs with mythological references. Radúz and Mahulena, from feuding kingdoms, fall in love, but have to face various challenges, including the sorcery of Queen Runa. As well as Slovak myths and fairy tales, the story also draws from the Indian drama Sakuntala by the poet Kalidasa.
