In my Master Thesis I try to define the sociological transformation of man on stage based on the selected productions of Hamlet. This method of sociological study of theater was developed by French sociologist and theatre theorist Jean Duvignuad in his study Sociologie du thêàtre, Les ombres collectives. I apply this method on study of three productions of Hamlet, which are considered as turning point in history of Czech theatre. First of them is from the beginning of the twentieth century, when the great tradition of Czech dramatic art is established by Eduard Vojan and Jaroslav Kvapil. The Hamlet of Radovan Lukavsky from 1959 is influenced by the communist era, when there was no place for heroism. The contemporary Hamlet of Jaroslav Plesl deals with the fading postmodern culture and is surrounded by complete nihilism. By the comparison of these productions I try to find the different answers to the Hamlet´s endless question, if it´s better "To be or not to be".
