Abstract

The anthology of contemporary Ukrainian drama presents plays by world-famous playwrights Natalia Vorozhbyt and Maksym Kurochkin, and discovers the work of playwright, director and conceptual artist Pavel Arie for the Slovak environment. The three plays, written between 2013 and 2022, tell the story of war and what preceded it.

The translations from Russian and Ukrainian are by Ján Štrasser and Valéria Juríčková.

The theatre critic, writer and translator from Russian and Ukrainian John Freedman introduces Slovak readers to the broader cultural and literary context of Ukraine in his introductory study. The study was translated from English by Jana Juráňová.
