One ingenious author, one bad actress, one good actress.
In 2021, JEDL celebrated its 10th anniversary and 30 years since the first collaboration between Nebeský, Trmíková and Prachař. We kicked off celebrations of this big double anniversary with the premiere of the play Marital History.
Love, jealousy, marriage, dreams, freedom, money, theatre. Marital History is a grotesque Western operetta inspired by the life and work of Swedish writer and playwright August Strindberg, a notorious “enemy of women.”

About the company
JEDL’s work is based on a long-term working relationship between Jan Nebeský, Lucie Trmíková, and David Prachař. The association formally began its activities in 2011.
An original and alternative independent theatre company, JEDL is characterised by collaborations between artists and performers from various artistic disciplines (theatre, dance, music, fine art). The resulting stagings incorporate elements of various genres to create an original and unique context within contemporary Czech theatre. JEDL’s dramaturgy rests on two key pillars: transcendence – in the sense of crossing boundaries; and experimentation – in the sense of interconnection.
JEDL is also notable for the originality and highly demanding, professional nature of its work.
