I began my theatre career thirteen years ago in Brno, Czech Republic. After relocating to the UK, I completed Theatre Studies at London Metropolitan University and MA Advanced Theatre Practice (Dramaturgy strand) at The Central School of Speech and Drama.
I work as a writer and production dramaturg but I also specialise in play translations and dramaturgy of text. I collaborated with Sam Walters at the Orange Tree Theatre during rehearsals of Václav Havel's latest play "Leaving" and the subsequent "Havel Season".
As a freelance play translator, I have worked for the Royal Court Theatre International Residency 2010, where I translated a play by Marek Horošcák from Czech to English.
Earlier this year I wrote the libretto for the contemporary opera The Moonflower, produced by Boii Theatre for Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival (Riverside Studios) in August 2011.
My TV credits include "BBC East Enders" (specialist dramaturgy of hospital scenes and scenography).
I established Boii Theatre in 2010, opening with translations of A. Goldflam's plays. Boii is now devising its own work, as well as continuing work with Czech plays in translation.
