Sažetak
The spontaneous, as well as the programmatic choice of relatively short dramatic form with small cast (sometimes requiring minimum properties, as in so-called bare stage genre, sometimes introducing over-elaborate “ non-producible” poetic stage directions associative of expressionism) is a common phenomenon in Croatian new drama, especially in the plays written by young authors of the generation born in the seventies. It would be a mistake to reduce this post-postmodern phenomenon – that has much to do with post-war resignation of the nineties and deliberate rejection of the ideological tenets connected to the “ big drama” – exclusively to quantitative arguments and technical characteristics in the purely formal description of the term “ one-act play” or “ small-cast play” . What is more, the history of one-act play in Croatian drama and theatre from the beginning of the twentieth century gives us the good excuse for widening up the definition of “ small form” in contemporary Croatian dramatic literature.
