On Tuesday June 25, 2013 at 10:00 a play by Zdeněk Wagner entitled Taming the Evil Acid was premiered at Slezskoostravský hrad in Ostrava. A fairy tale that tells the story on how sulphuric acid escaped by inadvertency from a lab, devoured all it could find, and how it was finally caught and made useful, was staged by amateur actors from the Ostrava University for the Chemistry at the Castle event.
