Comedy by Václav Kliment Klicpera
Šotek, Milan ; VOSTRÝ, Jaroslav (advisor) ; JUST, Vladimír (referee)
The resource of this work is the play The Miller’s Monkey, which was compiled by the author of this work for the Prague Estates Theater. The play is based on all completed comedies of Václav Kliment Klicpera written in Czech. Klicpera’s comedy work consequently appeared to be an ideal material to which the generally defined topic of the author’s doctoral study can be taken in: “Between `grand drama’ theatres and small `cabaret’ stages”, thus basically as well as between drama and mime, between theater and cabaret. There is, in crystalline form, the insight of dramaturgic thinking to the author’s approach, which is the essence of such “research by creation” and which we could call “from the scene to the drama”. 16 chapters were created, based on the particular scenes of The Miller’s Monkey, marked in summary “Klicpera’s reservoir of situations, characters and motives”, dealing with specific questions of Klicpera’s comedy world – such as language, acting, the way of managing the plot and many more –, but also comedies by themselves. The resulting play is not only an annex of this dissertation work, but an integral part of it. How its subtitle sounds: playful dissertation

From the School Theatre to the Professional One
Šotek, Milan ; Sílová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Vedral, Jan (referee)
The author is tracing his way from the school theatre to the professional one ? the 2009/2010 season in DISK theatre, to be precise, during which he prepared his dramaturgical plan of 2010/2011 season for the Moravian Theatre Olomouc. In the chapter focused on the dramaturgy of DISK he asks a question whether it is possible to trace back a continuity in the theatre which, year after year, changes its artistic staff. Giving an example of texts by Central European authors ? Kasimir and Karoline by Ödön von Horváth and Arthur Schnitzler's Casanova in Spa ? he sketches the way in which he reads dramatic texts. In the last part he is concerned with the burgess theatre dramaturgy on the basis of his experience from MDO, supporting it by particular oncoming titles. Thus, the graduation thesis is an imprint of the mind of a dramaturgist who is, at the moment, entering his professional career.

Woody Allen, the playwright
Šotek, Milan ; Vedral, Jan (advisor) ; Kudláčková, Jana (referee)
In the first chapter the author makes us acquainted with the substance and history of the american stand-up comedy, outstanding representative of which was in the 1960s Woody Allen. The second chapter is engaged in modification of club acts into dramatic texts, namely in the example of Allen's Broadway hit Don't Drink the Water. Also in another notable play, Play It Again, Sam, the author illustrates why he attaches importance rather to the stand-up comic's background than to film director's experience. The third chapter belongs to the American-European culture clash in Woody Allen's work. The author exemplifies that in Death, travesty of Kafka. In the final chapter he first sets the one-act play Central Park West in context to Allen's writings from the 1990s and he adresses the reflection to its stage realization afterwards.
