Prešeren Theatre was established as a professional theatre in 1950. It is one of the smallest professional theatres in Slovenia, with a complete cast of only ten actors. Prešeren Theatre is a repertory theatre which stages around four premières per season, which are often awarded at Slovene theatre festivals.


Overview

Prešeren Theatre Kranj aims to include in its repertory plays by most visible contemporary national and international authors and present the most groundbreaking and original contemporary dramatics by following the world trends in playwriting. Thus, it has recently produced plays by authors, such as Paula Vogel, Roland Schimmelpfennig, Mark Ravenhill, Elfriede Jelinek, Martin Crimp, and Jaan Tätte.

Prešeren Theatre and the members of its ensemble often receive prestigious awards at Slovene and international theatre festivals. In 2009, the performance Highway Crossing or a Tale of a Goldfish [Prečkanje avtoceste ali Zgodba o zlati ribici] (2008) was voted by the audience as the best performance at the Slovene Festival of Chamber Theatre (SKUP), the ensemble received the Little Golden Stick Award for acting achievement in the performance Cat the Slipper Cobbler [Muca Copatarica] (2009) at the 2009 Golden Stick Festival in Ljubljana, in 2008, Mateja Koležnik's performance Miss Julia [Gospodična Julija] (2008) received the SKUP Award for best performance and best direction, while the members of the ensemble are often awarded with the Sever Award (Primož Pirnat in 2009, Peter Musevski in 2007) and special mentions of the Slovene Drama Artists Association (Vesna Slapar in 2008). In 2001, the theatre was awarded the Grand Prix at the Golden Lion Festival in Umag, Croatia, for the staging of How I Learned to Drive[Kako sem se naučila voziti] (2001) by American author Paula Vogel, while the play Mayor’s Micka [Županova Micka] (2001), directed by Vito Taufer, was voted the best performance at the Slovene Drama Week in 2002.


Prešeren Theatre Kranj also organises the annual Slovene Drama Week, which presents the most successful Slovene plays staged at home and internationally. The Prešeren Theatre is working hard to further expand the international part of the festival by devising round-table conferences involving famous dramatists, theatre experts, producers and publishers, whilst also trying to present more foreign plays based on Slovene drama texts. The festival presents the Grum Award for best original Slovene script and the Grün-Filipič Special Mention for excellence in dramaturgy.
