The play based on Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace" will open the 36th edition of the "City Theater" Festival in Budva tonight.
The voluminous reading of about 1.000 pages was translated on stage into a three-hour play, directed by Boris Liješević.
On this occasion, the interviewee of Boja jutra was the actor Hadži Nenad Maričić, the main male character, Count Petar Pjer Kirilovič Bezuhov, who we asked how he experienced that role, and how inspiring it was to play that challenging and very important theater piece.
Maričić said that it was a particularly emotional experience. "You just never have time for Tolstoy," he said.
"It wasn't easy, but I would go through the whole process again, if I could choose," he added, assessing that this play is a true invitation to understand Tolstoy.
