Nine Plays of the Modern Theatre
Brecht: The Caucasian Chalk Circle; Beckett: Waiting for Godot; Durrenmatt: The Visit; Genet: The Balcony; Pinter: The Birthday Party; Ionesco: Rhinoceros; Mrozek: Tango; Stoppard: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead; Mamet: American Buffalo
by Harold Clurman
Edited by Harold Clurman
“The nine plays included in this volume are not only modern by date, 1944-1975, but in their dramatization . . . . Though each may differ from the others in literary and theatrical quality, in personality or style, they nearly all confront a common concern, the same spiritual situation. While each expresses an individual consciousness and temperament, they move toward a unity in which we may discern a portrait of our day. What, in any case, is incontrovertible is that they are among the most representative plays of our era. . . . The merit of the dramatists who write such plays is that they make vivid what is happening to us, and unintentionally in most cases, warn of us of our peril.” –from the introduction by Harold Clurman


This comprehensive volume contains nine of the most important, most indispensable plays of the modern theater. What Harold Clurman has done in this seminal collection is to create for us a portrait of the progress and turmoil of the twentieth century. Ranging from the eerie realism of Pinter’s sinister Birthday Party, to the absurd literalism of Ionesco’s conformist city in Rhinoceros, to the baroque fantasy world of Genet’s brothel in The Balcony, to the tragic hilarity of Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, these nine plays, each entirely distinct, together form an incisive, compelling, and sometimes heartbreaking mosaic of our time.

Bertolt Brecht, “The Caucasian Chalk Circle”
Samuel Beckett, “Waiting for Godot”
Friedrich D”rrenmatt, “The Visit”
Jean Genet, “The Balcony”
Harold Pinter, “The Birthday Party”

od Harolda Clurmana
Uredio Harold Clurman
„Devet drama uključenih u ovaj svezak nisu moderne samo po datumu, 1944.-1975., već i po svojoj dramatizaciji... Iako se svaka može razlikovati od ostalih po književnoj i kazališnoj kvaliteti, po osobnosti ili stilu, gotovo sve se suočavaju sa zajedničkim problemom, istom duhovnom situacijom. Dok svaka izražava individualnu svijest i temperament, kreću se prema jedinstvu u kojem možemo razaznati portret našeg vremena. Ono što je, u svakom slučaju, neosporno jest da su među najreprezentativnijim dramama našeg doba... Zasluga dramatičara koji pišu takve drame jest u tome što živo prikazuju ono što nam se događa i nenamjerno nas u većini slučajeva upozoravaju na našu opasnost.“ – iz uvoda Harolda Clurmana



Ovaj sveobuhvatni svezak sadrži devet najvažnijih, najneophodnijih drama modernog kazališta. Ono što je Harold Clurman učinio u ovoj temeljnoj zbirci jest stvaranje portreta napretka i previranja dvadesetog stoljeća. Od jezivog realizma Pinterove zlokobne Rođendanske zabave, preko apsurdnog doslovnog prikaza Ionescovog konformističkog grada u Nosorogu, do baroknog svijeta fantazije Genetovog bordela u Balkonu, do tragične urnebesnosti Stoppardovog Rosencrantza i Guildensterna su mrtvi, ovih devet drama, svaka potpuno zasebna, zajedno tvore prodoran, uvjerljiv i ponekad srceparajući mozaik našeg vremena.
