F-620 Václav Kliment Klicpera

(*23.11.1792 - †15.9.1859) The first true dramatist of the national revival and the author of the first ever Czech conversational comedy called Everyone Something for the Country (Každý něco pro vlast). He is inherently associated with Hradec Králové, where he lived and worked for almost 30 years. He wrote 57 plays and his comedies in particular remain popular today. For example, the Miraculous Hat (Divotvorný klobouk), the Four-Cornered Hat (Rohovín Čtverrohý) and perhaps his best-known Hadrian from the Cornices (Hadrián z Římsů).
