Abstract
Swiss writer Max Frisch (1911 – 1991) is one of the most staged playwrights of the German speaking community. Besides plays, his literary oeuvre includes novels, stories and diaries, making him one of the most important writers of the European and world literature of the 20th century. Frisch’s works are relatively unknown to Croatian readers and theatre audiences mostly because his literary works have been rarely translated into Croatian or reviewed. His plays are rarely staged by Croatian theatres and those that are translated are not published. Therefore, this work strives to introduce the life and work of Max Frisch as a writer, emphasizing Frisch as a playwright, especially to students of acting and puppetry. Another important goal is to point out the sources of his works translated into Croatian, making them more popular and closer to those who might, due to their profession or taste, show some interest in Frisch’s literary (drama) work.
