SUMMARY:
She and He are two young people who present the development of their own love affair, from being in love to routine, boredom and dislike, bearing testimony to the host of problems - living here and now - they encounter every day. Through all the well-known cliché situations, She and He pass through their intimate, existential and material crises, endlessly moving in circles of insecurity, helplessness and the desire for something better.
The play was premiered on July 26, 1999 at the Zagreb Youth Theatre, and won the Zagreb University Chancellor's Award for the 1999/2000 teaching year, and the Marin Drzic drama prize given by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia in 1999. The play has been translated into English.
