Abstract

This paper is focused on one area of art, which Wigmore ignored and Weisberg finally added to the list, even though it’s a type of art with a history far longer than novels have. It is drama. The strength of the plays is often related to the turmoil between an individual and law, which is mostly the main axis of the whole play. Many plays have a close relation to law and the current social situation. The‘Husa na provázku’ theatre performed the project called ‘Sto roků kobry’, a tetralogy of plays written by Dostoyevsky, which is a perfect example of this. The aim of this paper is to explain the relationship between Dostoyevsky’s plays as they are performed in the “Husa na provázku” theatre and contemporary law.
