Whilst in secondary school he founded the theatre group based on practical jokes Universal Artistic Association. He studied at the Natural Sciences Faculty of the Charles University in Prague (for political reasons he was not allowed to study in any other ?eld). In 1989 he took the opportunity of an invitation to Antwerp to emigrate to France. He wrote here the first version of his play The Innocent are Innocent. Spurred on by the Czech emigre Pavel Tigrid, he completed the play, which won the first ever Alfred Radok Award in 1992. He now devotes himself to prose, and describes himself as a left-wing author.

Synopsis: | The revolution has taken place. The dictator has fled. The new government is in power. But the prime minister's secretary is under arrest and there are demonstrators on the streets and concern that the ideals of the revolution are about to be betrayed. The chiefs of the police, the army, the law and the intelligence services, aided and abetted by Helga, a rich and attractive widow known to them all, decide that action must be taken to protect the fledgling democracy. They must form a new, secret, Revolutionary Council - and just at that moment they hear that there is indeed a 'conspiracy'. This is the UK premiere of this 1971 play and its first full English language production. | |||||

Synopsis: | Two youths, Desert Fox and Fatalist, don't work on principle, sleep late and feed themselves by visiting their girl friends unexpectedly. The only questions they have to sort out each day are what to wear, what to eat and how to pass the time. They do this by practical jokes, erudite debates and vain dreams about escaping somewhere, for which they don't have the strength or, when it comes to it, the desire. Their basic emotion is boredom. They stave this off by cruelty to women and animals (Desert Fox burnt a cat alive). Cruelty is not only an amusement, it becomes the only "real" activity. After the "wild ride" of the ?rst half of the text comes the contrasting second part, which takes place three years later. It is more meditative. Desert Fox reflects on his previous life. The two heroes, no longer merry, but abandoned and empty, incapable of change, end their decadent game with a burstt of purgative but self-destructive laughter. | |||||
