Jokes by Uvodić, witnesses of Split that has been gone for a long time, inspired this new dramatization of “A Book” that analyzes patriarchal family relations and the eternal issue of man – woman relationship inside Mediterranean, smalltown community. New and different insight of the old Split, connecting tradition and contemporary, created an individual piece that reveals certain unspoken details from the life of Ujević’s heroes. It is the story of a widower and his three daughters, a story that opens numerous happy and unhappy destinies in one courtyard in Split, where everybody is struggling for their right to love. This struggle has never been easy, especially in a place where the feeling of responsibility towards the elders has been and is grounds for survival. The stage in Theatre backyard will be a battlefield of love from the thirties, together with laugh and tears so typical for the bitterness of Ujević’s warm sense of humor.
