Description
A portrait of an eclectic family, held together by the courage to survive, is presented in this powerful play. The Kos family's history is woven from the remnants of monarchy, through Communism, democracy, war, and eventual acceptance into a wider Europe. Four generations of women, each more independent than the last, must adapt to survive amidst the changing world around them. The family's ivy-clad home stands witness to their passing generations, but when Lucija's wedding brings together the present and past, tensions rise. The house is sold to a nouveau-riche brother-in-law, forcing the tenants to move out, sparking debate about progress and greed. Written by Tena Štivičić, 3 Winters premiered at the National Theatre, London in November 2014, before being awarded the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2015.
