| Description | The study deals with an interpretation of a play by František Hrubín, Křišťálová noc. In 2021, it will have been sixty years since its premier on the stage of the National Theatre in Prague. The present work notes public reception of the drama right after the release and its standing in context to the contemporary theatre with a special account to the response after the ambitious Prague staging in Švandovo divadlo in 2011. The significance of this almost forgotten Hrubín’s play lies mainly in presenting non-idyllic characters along with the theme of the revolting youth and provocative daily ordinariness introduced to the Czech theatre by Hrubín at the beginning of the 1960s. |
