Sažetak

The first intendant of the Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb was Stjepan Miletić,
and thanks to his efforts at the end of the 19th century, Croatian theatre took on the outlines of a modern Central European theatre. Among other things, he wrote theatre criticism and, based on the audience experience he gained in the great European theatres of the time, reformed the Zagreb theatre. Stjepan Miletić is also noted in Croatian cultural history as a literary figure. Mladen Tucić wrote about the Zagreb intendant in his novel Nagon (1887), and Čedo Prica is the author of the play Ostavka (Abandonment), which premiered in 1986 at the Zagreb HNK, directed by Georgi Paro. Paro is also the author of a book of theatre memoirs, Conversations with Miletić (1999), in which his eponymous »dramolet« was first published. The paper explores how Miletić is represented as a literary/dramatic character in the aforementioned literary works and in the theatrical performance, and how contemporary Croatian culture, especially literature and theater, remembers him.
