Dramatist Tomáš Rychetský (b. September 14, 1965) whilst in secondary school he founded the theatre group based on practical jokes Universal Artistic Association. He studied at the Natural Sciences Faculty of the Charles University in Prague (for political reasons he was not allowed to study in any other field).
In 1989 he took the opportunity of an invitation to Antwerp to emigrate to France. He wrote there the first version of his play The Innocent are Innocent (Nevinní jsou nevinní, premiere in 1995). Spurred on by the Czech emigré Pavel Tigrid, he completed the play, which won the first ever Alfréd Radok Award in 1992. He now devotes himself to prose, and describes himself as a left-wing author.
