Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the stage life of Ivo Andrić’s prose from the first dramatization in 1934 to contemporary theatrical interpretations, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the author’s death. Drawing on the theoretical insights of Vesna Krčmar, the study analyzes the challenges of translating Andrić’s epic narrative into the dramatic medium, with particular attention to the predominance of monologic forms and the borderline space between epic and dramatic structures. Special focus is placed on modern stage adaptations of the novels The Woman from Sarajevo, The Bridge on the Drina, and Bosnian Chronicle, as well as on the relationship between critical reception and the repertoire longevity of these productions.
