Vöröšová, Markéta ; Just, Vladimír (advisor) ; Augustová, Zuzana (referee)
The presented thesis deals with the set design of one of the most important Czech artist, Lubos Hruza, that he created for the Cinoherní klub between 1965 and 1968. What is most accentuated is the restoration of twelve of his scenographies followed by a comparison between the final stage creation and the dramatist's written stage directions. The text concentrates at finding a characteristic expression of Hruza 's style. It also notices a specific space of this theatre that is believed to necessarily influence an artist in his work. Further, the thesis analyzes the changes between the draft scenic designs and the final stage realization.

Wives and Whores: Female characters in the plays of Harold Pinter
Schormová, Františka ; Wallace, Clare (advisor) ; Pilný, Ondřej (referee)
This BA thesis discusses four female characters from three plays of the British dramatist Harold Pinter, placing them in context of depicting 'The Femine.' Pinter's female characters must not only be seen in the tradition of stereotypical depicting women, but also in context of the patriarchal concepts they have to face - the male dominance, male gaze and male bonding. The second chapter provides background for discussing female characters - reasons why to do so are provided and the idea of woman as 'the Other' is introduced. This concept led to the stereotyping of women and subsequently to their misrepresentation in fiction. The basic dichotomy of 'wife/whore' is investigated. The chapter also examines the specifics of representation on the stage with references to the development of drama. It concludes with placing Pinter within this context. The third chapter contains close reading of three Pinter's plays - The Homecoming, Old Times and Betrayal. The roles of female characters are examined in relationship to the power structures they are trying to dismantle. The chapter argues that even if they manage it, the victory does not challenge the patriarchal structure as such. The fourth chapter is focused on realisation of Pinter on Czech stages. It provides the history of the stagings, focusing...
