| Description | The paper traces the evolution of a dramatic phenomenon of the 1990s called Coolness Drama or In-Yer-Face Theatre. It illustrates the postmodern aspects of this genre, especially its shifts and changes in the themes and methods. To add topicality and a broader interest in this work, special emphasis is placed on those plays that have been performed on the Czech stage since the second half of the 1990s. |
