Work Description

The Ohrid Trilogy contains three plays - dramas connected to Ohrid.
Pod Akropol - Under the Acropolis. Second half od 19th century, a poetry competition in Greece held in front of Athena's temple. The Macedonian poet Grigor Prlicev wins first prize, a laurel leaf crown, the love of beautiful Panahija and the title of a "second Homer". But love for his homeland is stronger that that for a woman. Revolted by the murder of the brothers Miladinov he returns to Debar, where he is imprisoned for his anti-Turkish activities. Panahija tries to free him appealing to Rustem Pasha. He later returns to Ohrid.
Robinka - A slave girl. First half of 19th century, Macedonia under Turkish rule. Historical drama. Tashula, a Macedonian woman is being buried in Ohrid, her life unfolds throughout the drama. Snatched by the Turks as a young girl, she is taken to Dzeladin Bey's castle. Initially permitted to visit Macedonian homes, Dzeladin Bey later prohibits this; he is in love with her, but she then becomes a true slave. At the request of Macedonians she arranges for Dzeladin Bey to appoint Capt. Kuzman as Commander of Ohrid region. She falls in love with Kuzman, loses her mind, kills her child. Both Dzeladin Bay and Kuzman are killed. The play paints a vast canvas of political upheavals of Macedonia of that time.
Pluto - Cork. The play starts in 1939 just before the Second World War, ends after liberation in 1946. A doctor, Alexander, is an ambitious, self-centred domineering husband, preventing his wife Florina to become a music teacher. She hides Ivan, an illegal political activist in the house, wanted by the police. Asserting herself, with the help of her husband, she saves his life.
The author: "A cork is a spongy tree usually used by fishermen on their nets, saving them from sinking. The drama's title is symbolic - of people disinterested in secrets of the depths or the beauties of heights - people whose only aim in life is to remain on the surface, to bob about, people who live through storms and remain always, always on the surface."
