Сажетак

This paper addresses the phenomenon of literature and theatre as a vehicle for freedom of expression, subaudition and subversion. The case studies are two plays enacted on Serbian stages in the past decade: Shakespeare at the Kremlin, an authentic post-Yugoslav and post-communist creation revisited and revived thirty years later; and “Project Shakespeare – As You Like It”, of Belgrade’s National Theatre, where even a comedy has a tragic ending. Prison as a little state, power and restricted freedom of an individual and a whole society, as well as the role of theatre in these processes, are the topics that pervade both plays analysed in this paper.
