Life

She was born Iva Volánková in Brno and attended grammar school in Moravský Krumlov. She performed in the children's theatre at the Na Provázku Theater and was a member of the amateur ensemble Nepojízdná housenka. From 1989 to 2004, she performed at the HaDivadle.[1] From the late 1990s, she focused more on writing than on acting.[2]

Klestilová lectures on dramaturgy at the National Theatre in Prague.[1]

She has written scripts for a number of Czech television series, including Ošklivka Katka, as well as screenplays for television and radio plays.[1]

She has received the Alfréd Radok Award for Všichni svatí (1997) and for her minach trilogy of plays (2000).[3] In 2006, she received the same award for her play Má vlast.[2]

Her dramatic work is known for its social commentary on issues such as consumerism and the decline of social values.[4]

She contributes to the newspapers Mladá fronta DNES, Lidové noviny and Právo.[1]

gollark: I run on entirely Linux, and somehow entirely *Arch* Linux.
gollark: Loud rack servers instead of... also loud tower servers, VMs instead of containers, Windows instead of Linux, bizarrely convoluted nested reverse proxies for some reason, old PHP/ASP applications instead of my shinier Node/Python ones, sort of thing.
gollark: I have a friend who's also into the whole servers-at-home thing, but made basically opposite technical decisions to me.
gollark: VMs do seem to be a major source of RAM wastage.
