Career

Hřebíčková studied at the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts (JAMU) in Brno, graduating in 2002.[1] She had her first theatrical engagement at Divadlo Polárka [cs] in Brno.[1] She then joined the Zlín City Theatre in 2003,[2] her first role being a princess in the play Bajaja by Otomar Dvořák [cs].[3]

She made her film debut in 2006, appearing in I Served the King of England, directed by Jiří Menzel.[1] At the 2008 Thalia Awards she won the category of Best Actress in a Play, for her performance of the title role in a production of Maryša at the Zlín City Theatre.[2][4] Months after winning the Thalia award, Hřebíčková left Zlín City Theatre.[2]

In 2009, she appeared in the film Kawasaki's Rose, in which director Jan Hrebejk blended comedy, drama, complicated family dynamics, and Czechoslovakia's secret police.[5] In 2011, she appeared as Alica, in Jiří Vejdělek's Men in Hope, a comedic response to Women in Temptation.[6][7]

Hřebíčková joined Švandovo divadlo in Prague in 2010.[1] She was nominated for a Thalia award again in 2014, for her role of Gertrude in the performance of Hamlet at Švandovo divadlo,[8][9] but the award was won by Vilma Cibulková.[10]
