Vondráková, Adéla ; JOBERTOVÁ, Daniela (vedoucí práce) ; SCHLEGELOVÁ, Martina (oponent)
This bachelor thesis deals with the work of the English playwright Sarah Kane especially with her last play 4.48 Psychosis and its two Czech productions ? the Czech premier at the Kolowrat theatre staged in 2003 and its latest production so far staged in HaDivadlo in 2010. Using the dramaturgical analysis this thesis compares the dramaturgical concepts of both productions.
It also makes a short excursion into the life and works of Sarah Kane and mentions the other four plays Blasted, Phaedra's Love, Cleansed, Crave and a short screenplay Skin. This thesis attempts to summarize the main characteristics and principles of Sarah Kane?s plays. It also mentions Sarah Kane?s era - i.e. the nineties of the twentieth century, the era of in-yer-face theatre and new British drama (in the Czech Republic known as cool drama).

Czech Coolness Drama
Lehečková, Hana ; SCHLEGELOVÁ, Martina (vedoucí práce) ; KUDLÁČKOVÁ, Jana (oponent)
This theses deals with a specific type of contemporary Czech drama, the so-called
"Czech coolness drama". The main question discussed is whether it can really be
labeled "coolness" as known abroad or not. The history and the features of coolness
drama abroad are stated in the beginning (above all based on Aleks Sierz's, Ken
Urban's, and other studies published in the magazine World and Theatre). However,
a comprehensive study of Czech coolness drama is lacking. Thus, the thesis stems
mainly from the author's judgement based on the analyses of three Czech plays,
which may be categorized as coolness drama for various reasons ? Jiří Pokorný's
Odpočívej v pokoji, Marek Horoščák's Vařený hlavy, and Jáchym Topol's Cesta do
Bulgumy. These plays are then compared with the features of coolness drama
abroad. On grounds of these analyses, we can argue these three conclusions:
Odpočívej v pokoji can be regarded as coolness drama, yet it does not attain the
required function. Vařený hlavy by no means should be categorized as coolness
drama. Cesta do Bugulmy is classified as a coolness, however, not coolness drama.
Therefore, no such drama has emerged in the Czech Republic (yet)
