Abstract

Play The Return by Zlata Kolarić Kišur was rewarded by the Croatian Theatrical Volunteers Matrix on an anonymous competition for folk acting on March 30th 1940. The narrative text in the play has intrigued Branko Gavella who soon after staged it. The play was performed in Croatian National Theatre on the day of the 80th Anniversary of the use of Croatian Language in Theatre, November 24th 1940. And although it was predicted to be a huge success, the play was taken off the repertoire after the 10th performance.
Subject of research will be the corpus of newspaper articles which were published after the premiere in periodicals in 1940 (Jutarnji list, Hrvatski list, Hrvatski dnevnik, Omladinski list, Zagrebački list, Novosti, Večer, Hrvatska straža and Obzor). A review of critical reviews on the genius directing by Branko Gavella, and acting and setting will be given. Due to this show, the people then had a chance to see The Return by Zlata Kolarić Kišur in theatre, unlike the reading audience who only had a chance to read the Second Act of the play because the play has never been printed and published in whole.
Branko Gavela was, according to Oton Orešković, an invisible, but great and powerful cooperator of the author who has filled his scale of success with yet another new success.
