The White Disease The White Disease () is a play written by Czech novelist Karel Čapek in 1937. Written at a time of increasing threat from Nazi Germany to Czechoslovakia, it portrays a human response to a tense, prewar situation in an unnamed country that greatly resembles Germany with one extra, somewhat absurd addition: an uncurable "white disease", a mysterious form of leprosy, is selectively killing off people older than 45. It was adapted as the film "Skeleton on Horseback" by Hugo Haas.
