Rasha, a man of dark and dangerous intellect, lives in a small and<br />
obscure Serbian town with his alcoholic father, where he receives<br />
frequ<strong>en</strong>t visits from his neighbour, a damaged poet who is in and<br />
out of m<strong>en</strong>tal institutions, and uses private lessons on Hamlet to<br />
seduce local te<strong>en</strong>age girls. One day he receives a phone call from<br />
Igor, the best fri<strong>en</strong>d whom he has not se<strong>en</strong> for more than t<strong>en</strong> years.<br />
Like many other young people from Serbia, Igor left the country<br />
in the wake of the wars in the Balkans to make a new life in<br />
Huddersfield, England, and now he is back home. The play, which<br />
begins as a harmless high-school reunion drama soon develops into<br />
a disturbing and moving story about some of the most important<br />
and g<strong>en</strong>erally overlooked issues of contemporary life in Serbia, as<br />
well as speaking of how painful it can be to come to terms with<br />
turning 30.<br />
Rasha, homme d’une intellig<strong>en</strong>ce sombre et dangereuse, vit avec<br />
son père alcoolique dans une petite ville obscure de Serbie. Un<br />
jour il reçoit un coup de fil d’Igor, son meilleur ami qu’il n’a pas<br />
vu depuis dix ans car, celui-ci, comme beaucoup de jeunes g<strong>en</strong>s de<br />
Serbie, a quitté son pays à la veille de la guerre pour refaire sa vie<br />
à Huddersfield <strong>en</strong> Angleterre. Mais leurs retrouvailles si att<strong>en</strong>dues<br />
se transformeront <strong>en</strong> une histoire dérangeante sur quelques-uns des<br />
problèmes les plus importants – et généralem<strong>en</strong>t ignorés – de la<br />
vie actuelle <strong>en</strong> Serbie, tout <strong>en</strong> parlant de la douleur qu’il y a à faire<br />
face au tournant de la tr<strong>en</strong>taine.
