Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the interpretation of the play Já, Jákob (prem. 1968) written by the philosopher Vítězslav Gardavský (1923–1978). This drama, well rooted in biblical motifs, presents the Old Testament myth of Jacob as a parable of a man`s eternal struggle for his own identity. The author of this paper is trying to answer the question to what extent this drama stands out from the context of the 1960s drama, whether it comprises the features of so-called problem drama and why the potential of its stage presentation is considerably limited.
