Radovan III (Radovan the Third) is a play written by Dušan Kovačević. It is a dark comedy that was first performed on the thirtieth of December nineteen seventy-three in Belgrade. It is a culturally significant piece of writing which left a prominent mark when it first premiered. Since it has been fifty years from the original premiere of the play, a notably different adaptation of the original text by Dušan Kovačević, co-produced by the “Theatre City’’ Budva and the National Theatre of Sombor was first performed at the XXXVII festival edition in Budva. Now, it is a huge honor for the afore-mentioned co-production to be a part of the fiftieth jubilee festival “Dani Komedije” (“The Days of Comedy’’) taking place in Jagodina from the twentieth to twenty-seventh of March. That it is one of the seven regional plays selected by Aleksandar Milosavljević to be included in the festival as a part of the competition program speaks of its success and authentic spirit.
The text of the play is dramatized by Vesna Radovanović and the play directed by Vito Taufer.
The other members of the creative team are: Biljana Grgur, costume designer, Lazar Bodreša, scenography, Robert Pešut Manjifiko and Aleksandar Pešut Shatz, the original music (songs) for the play.
