Komedije

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

Pokondirena tikva

Pokondirena tikva je komedija čuvenog Jovana Sterije Popovića, pisca i jednog od najboljih srpskih komediografa svih vremena, takođe i osnivača srpske drame.

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.
