1. Tvrdica
A sharp social comedy that skewers petty bourgeois avarice by following an obsessive miser whose hoarding and suspicion threaten his family’s happiness; through witty dialogue, misunderstandings and the plotting of relatives and servants, the play exposes hypocrisy and the corrosive effects of greed on human relationships, using satire to bring about a comic unmasking and a moral, reconciliatory resolution.
