The play \u201cMontenegrin in Bed\u201d has been making people laugh for a long time in Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia, the entire Balkan region, Europe, Australia\u2026 And in the spring, the audience in America will also have the opportunity to enjoy this hilarious comedy whose writer, actor Pe\u0111a \u0160u\u0161kav\u010devi\u0107, is also the holder of one of the two main roles, alongside Ana \u0160imun\u0111a Selski, all organized by Global Stage Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the reason to talk with Pe\u0111a about the phenomenon of this play, which followed in the footsteps of \u201e\u0110ekna\u201c and other legendary comedies of the Montenegrin, but also Balkan mentality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it that triggers reactions from people in this play?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 \u201eMontenegrin in Bed\u201c<\/a> has been the most visited comedy in the region for a long time. It is the best text I have written, and it took me a long time to come up with the title, which I thought about for days and nights. A famous director of ours told me recently: \u201eWhen you gave it the title ‘Montenegrin in Bed’, God looked upon you!\u201c There is nothing more beautiful than a good comedy, and this one seems to be good, because it fills halls and makes people laugh to tears, and that is probably the essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eMontenegrin in Bed\u201c is my life story, which is probably why the play is so popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much are the characteristics of Montenegrin men and women in this play caricatured and how much are they real?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-\u201eMontenegrin in Bed\u201c is a universal category. The play could have been called \u201eSerbian in Bed\u201c, Bosnian, Macedonian\u2026 It is the life of a married couple in their later years, in which people recognize themselves, their parents, friends\u2026 It is a folk story very close to all of us, regardless of nationality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life in those years is completely the same for us. The play was created in Montenegro, I gave it that spirit of mentality, but it is actually a theme for all of us. That is also the reason for such popularity. It seems it just had to happen, for someone to write it and stage it. And as things stand, I was the one who had that luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much have those characteristics changed in Montenegro in the last few decades, are young Montenegrins like their fathers and grandfathers? And what about young Montenegrin women?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

-Everyone watches this play, regardless of age. Young people, of whom there are many, react enthusiastically, among other things recognizing their parents, grandfathers, grandmothers, friends. People of middle and older age, on the other hand, recognize themselves or someone of their own in the play. This play depicts the lives of all of us in a comical way, in a very simple, honest way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
