Fran Govekar (1871–1949)

Povod za razstavo je objava Govekarjevih dramskih besedil na naši spletni strani (Wrestlers, Tenth brother , Legionnaires, Martin Krpan, Cramp, Twilight in priredba Mayor Micika).

Pisatelj, urednik in prevajalec Fran Govekar se je skozi vsa obdobja svoje pisateljske in profesionalne kariere intenzivno posvečal gledališču: pisal je igre, prevajal dramska besedila, bil je tajnik Dramatičnega društva in ljubljanskega gledališča, intendant in gledališki ravnatelj. Po prvi svetovni vojni je bil soustanovitelj in član ravnateljstva Slovenskega gledališkega konzorcija.

Govekar began publishing short stories during his student years, influenced by naturalistic literary models. The pinnacle of his prose work is the novel In the blood (1896). Sočasno so nastajale tudi njegove gledališke igre, ki jih je oblikoval z bolj tradicionalnimi prijemi; poleg »ljudskovzgojnih« spektaklov s petjem je pisal tudi drame, v katerih je obravnaval sodobnejše dogajanje.

The success of Govekar's dramatizations is closely linked to the humorous performances of Anton Verovšek, who in his plays played out the various registers of the simple Slovenian man, laughing, crying and loudly singing melodies. The famous interpreter of Govekar's folk heroes is in Wrestling portrayed the drunken farmer Blaž Mozol, in To the tenth brother the village specialty Krjavlje, in Legionnaires tailor Boštjan Jež and finally the heroic Martin Krpan in the stage production of Levstik's story of the same name.
