Abstracts

EN

This study deals with the dramatic work of the writer and philosopher Vítězslav Gardavský (1923–1978), whose birth centenary will be commemorated in 2023. After its characterization of the author’s dramatic debut, I, Jacob (1968), the study focuses in particular on the little-known play The Legend of Francis and Clara, which was written in 1970, but the planned premiere in 1973 was banned. The author of the study concludes that both of Gardavsky’s plays exhibit features of book drama, essay and philosophical disputation. Their original dramatic form explores the possibilities of philosophical and religious messages, but the philosophical values dominate the theatrical potential of the dramatic text.
