Dejvické divadlo’s play A Blockage in the System is based on a short story collection The Acid House written by the well-known Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh. Daniel Majling’s stage adaptation is created with a remarkable sensitivity to Irvine Welsh’s poetics and yet it makes an entirely distinctive work. Awarded by Alfred Radok Award for the best play in 2012.

The abstract in the second Czech edition of the book published in 2008 says:
(...)
It is Welsh’s second book, full of “pictures of the scum’s social
life”. And he lived up to his reputation, examining again the dark
corners of the world and a soul. (...) Being a member of the Edinburgh’s
working class, the narrator talks big, his language is horrifying, full
of vulgarisms, slang phrases, mangled and pseudowords but it is by no
means drab and boring. That’s because there is humor in it, although it
is rather black, cynical and brutal - but is there another way to
describe the real life? And there is also one rule - that there’s no
happy ending among the short stories and that it has never been so bad
that it couldn’t be worse.
THE RUDEST PLAY IN DEJVICKÉ THEATRE'S HISTORY!
Considering a great number of swear words that are an essential part of
dialogues of the play, it is not suitable for spectators younger than 15 years
and the ones particulary sensitive to such way of speaking
