Sokol, Ondřej
Information
Ondřej Sokol (b. 1971) - Studied acting and direction at DAMU in Prague. From 1996 was a member of the Town Theatre in Mladá Boleslav, after three years moving to the "Drama Club" theatre, where he created a number of roles (the "Vicomte de Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons", "Moulineaux in A Gown For His Mistress", "Bece in Protugal" etc.) and in 2002 he made his debut there as the director of the "The Lonesome West" by Martin McDonagh. He subsequently directed "Sexual Perversity" in Chicago, "The Pillowman", "American Bison" and "Playboy of the Western World". From time to time he also translates from English. Jitka Sloupová writes of Sokol's directing style: "masterful use of rhythm and space, clear management of the unusually multi-dimensional and temperamental performances, which he gets going and then manages to subdue in time to allow the metaphysical dimension of the play to stand out." Ondřej Sokol has been declared "Talent of the Year", and won the "Thálie" award for artists aged 33 and under.
