The Plays of Ivan Cankar - In English For The First Time

Ivan Cankar, playwright, essayist, poet and political activist, is regarded as the greatest playwright in the Slovene language, and has sometimes been compared to Henrik Ibsen, Franz Kafka and James Joyce. This play translation project is a collaborative effort between Presernovo Gledališče Kranj, a professional repertory theatre located in the city of Kranj, Slovenia, and Crane Creations Theatre Company. This project is generously supported by the European Commission and the Slovene Government. Ivan Cankar is known by many as the the “undiscovered Eastern European Ibsen” and the “father of Slovene drama”. Cankar is regarded as the greatest writer in the Slovene language and yet is unknown in most of the world. The plays will be translated from Slovene into English by professional expert translators to allow for many more people to experience his genius.
