As the creator of the original directional poetics Jiří Frejka contributed very much to the development of the Czech theatre, but his theoretical works, in which he helped to define the new direction of the Czech theatre above all in two postwar years, are also very important. The presented work is based on the biographic plan, it is difficult to distinguish work and life in the case of Jiří Frejka. The chronology of his life becomes the main them of this thesis ? the childhood, the growing up, first directional works connected with the early period of the Czech avantguarde theatre, the activity in the National theatre, the artistic leadership of the Municipal Theatres of Prague and finally the epilogue in the theatre of Karlín. Three main chapters then correspond to this chronology.
