My Cyrillic and Latin poster designs for the play by Branislav Nušić, "The People's Deputy” (The Member of Parliament) at the JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia. The play is directed by Vito Taufer.
The comedy "The People's Deputy" can be classified as a social comedy, i.e. a comedy of character, with an interweaving of situational and verbal comedy. The play takes place in a Serbian town at the end of the 19th century. The main theme is the elections for a member of parliament, manifested through political passions in society, corrupt characters, and the struggle for political influence and personal enrichment. Nušić supplements the theme of the comedy with everyday topics from the everyday life of the town and characters of different moral profiles. As in many other works, he set the action in a family environment. Nušić defines three parts in a comedy, and they can often be seen in his other comedies. The normal line of life is depicted through the everyday relationships in the family of a village merchant, a life he is content with, based on petty fraud and mischief. The departure from that line occurs when he wishes to become a member of parliament, which leads to a series of events. However, the political and love entanglements are ultimately resolved happily, and the merchant returns to his simple life.
Branislav Nušić (1864 - 1938) was a Serbian writer, comedian, journalist, founder of rhetoric in Serbia, diplomat, and photographer.
The "People's Deputy" is the first comedy by writer Branislav Nušić, which he wrote in 1883, when he was nineteen years old.
The building depicted on the poster is the House of the National Assembly (Parliament) in Belgrade.
