Summary/Abstract: The paper presents part of a research dedicated to the study of the theatrical adaptations of the great Russian classics in Sarajevo theatres, performed in the period between 1921, when the National Theatre was founded, and 2007. It focuses primarily on the literary and theatrical reception of the opus of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. Since the founding of the oldest theatre in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1921, followed by the founding of other Sarajevo theatres (most notably the Chamber Theatre 55), Sarajevo has seen nine premieres of Dostoevsky. The paper will present various directorial concepts and dramatizations of Dostoevsky’s novels, most of which were met with disappointing reviews. An analysis and synthesis of Bosnian and Herzegovinian literary and theatrical criticism pertaining to the above-mentioned opus compared to Russian critical thought will be presented as well. We will introduce the theoretical ‘view’ of some issues which are inevitably presented to researchers when it comes to the prose works, or classical novel adaptation for theatre.
