Prokop František Šedivý

Prokop František Šedivý (July 4, 1764 – c. 1810) was a significant Czech playwright, actor, and translator of the National Revival era. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern Czech theater and he was involved in founding the first entirely Czech-language theater Bouda.

Biography

Generally, there is not much information about Šedivý's life. He was born in Prague, into a brewer's family, and probably worked as a state official later.

Works

Šedivý's best-known plays are Kníže Honzík (Prince Honzík, the very first Czech play), Pražští sládci (The Prague Brewers), and České Amazonky (The Czech Amazons, 1792).

He translated Shakespeare's King Lear into Czech.
