On February 13, 19, and 20, 2016, the Slovenian Youth Theater in Ljubljana will host a theatrical performance by the controversial writer and Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek entitled Dramas of the Princesses, which is a sort of missing half of Shakespeare's royal tragedies in history.
Drama princesses are a theatrical setting that combines a cycle of five monologue miniatures. The heroines are semi-mythologized, as their stories come from the fairy-tale and media world. A case of stories about the female gender and their girlish, feminine and more or less feminine experiences, which are marked by the fact that the female gender has always and forever been characterized as weaker, less interesting and ultimately less entitled to theatrical performance.

Such princesses, whose only confidant and interlocutor is only death, cannot be redeemed by any prince, regardless of his high birth. They will be standing in front of us on the stage Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Sylvia Plath, Ingeborg Bachmann, Jacqueline Onassis, Lady Di and the author of the play herself, a controversial writer and a Nobel laureate Elfriede Jelinek.
The director of the so-called "missing half of Shakespeare's royal tragedies" is one of the most important Polish directors of the young generation, Michał Borczuch, and Damjana Černe, Daša Doberšek, Boris Kos, Janja Majzelj, Anja Novak, Maruša Oblak and others will play the role of tragic female heroes and their princes.
