Ivan Cankar : The Complete Plays (in English language)

Cankar’s seven play opus features large casts, complex themes, and thoughtful depictions of socioeconomic and political nuances within Slovenian society. To this day, Cankar’s plays are still among the most popular dramatic works in Slovenian theatres.

Ivan Cankar (1876 – 1918), playwright, essayist, poet and political activist, is regarded as the greatest writer in the Slovenian language. His work has been compared with the work of Henrik Ibsen, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, Franz Kafka, and James Joyce. He is considered the father of modern Slovenian theatre and has had a major influence on almost all Slovenian playwrights thereafter.

The Complete Plays of Ivan Cankar have been translated by Michael Biggins, Jason Blake, Alenka Blake, Rawley Grau, Tina Mahkota and Tom Priestly; edited by James Hyett; and designed by Aditi Sharma. The Complete Plays of Ivan Cankar is a collaboration between Presernovo Gledališče Kranj, a professional repertory theatre located in Kranj, Slovenia, and Crane Creations Theatre Company, a professional theatre company located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada; and generously supported by the European Commission and the Slovenian Government.
