• Info: He was born in Bratislava in 1944, where he studied theatre and later became a co-founder and dramaturg of the Korzo Theater in 1968. In 1971, it was forced to disband for political reasons, and he was barred from the authors association – essentially an occupational ban. He “survived the winter” as a researcher for the Academy of Science and as a translator. His first play, “Goldoniada,” had to be released under a fake name, but it was frequently staged in the ČSSR. He later wrote further plays and screenplays. From 1983 until 1990, he served as dramaturg and director at the Theater SNP in Martin. In 1989, he was involved in the movement “The Public Against Violence,” which played an integral role in the fall of the communist regime, and in 1991/92, he became a minister in the first democratic government.                                                                                  He now directs at Slovakian and Czech theatres and writes screenplays for television. In addition, he works as a dramaturg at the National Theatre in Bratislava and as a professor at the capital city's theatre academy.                                                                                  photo: Martin Črep
