Komedije

The collection from 1963 presents classic works of Serbian literature, significant for their topicality and universal themes.

Pokondirena tikva

Pocondirena tikva is a comedy by the famous Jovan Sterija Popović, writer and one of the best Serbian comedy writers of all time, also the founder of Serbian drama.

Pokondirena tikva

In the comedy Pokondirena tikva, the main character Fema, an ordinary citizen obsessed with the upper class, comically tries to play the role of a lady. The play mocks snobbery, hypocrisy, and the desire for someone else's appearance and manners.

Tvrdica - Rodoljupci

Together, these two comedies show Steria as a master of satire, who exposes society's flaws through humor: in "Tvrdica" human greed, and in "Rodoljupci" political hypocrisy.
