Records from Hard Times

Premiered in 2007 at Scene 55 of the Croatian National Theatre in Split, this unconventional monodrama by Trpimir Jurkić has captured the hearts of the audience and garnered critical acclaim.

Records from Hard Times

The notes of Father Branko Sbutege are not mere records of time but rather the reflections of the heart. Although these writings are not dramatic texts in themselves, but rather newspaper columns, essays, and stories, each of them is, in its essence, a drama. It is the drama of a person deeply experiencing the (un)weather of the time they find themselves in. These words beckon to be spoken and voiced anew, to be imprinted upon the living human heart. Theatre opens its space to speak the words of this man from Boka, an art historian, intellectual, and above all, the parish priest of Saint Stasije in Dobrota, the last Catholic priest from Prčanj.
