| Description | The study deals with the dramatic output of The Drama Club (Činoherní klub), a renowned theatre scene, which celebrated its 55th anniversary in 2020. The present study interprets works created during the 1960s by the theatre’s fundamental authors, starting with the first staging of Piknik (premier? on 27th 1965), a play by Ladislav Smoček, and ending with the slapstick by Alena Vostrá, On the Knife's Edge (premier? on 4th 1968). The study is focused primarily on the theme of enclosed space, which related to the ensemble’s ambition to show some of the paradoxes in human behaviour under tense conditions of escalated model situations. |
