Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes specific type of personages form plays by Diana Balyko, a young writer who belongs to Generation X. Based on sociological research it is possible to identify characteristics of dramatis personae who share a world with the Generation of Millennials — potential/virtual consumers, whose characteristic behavior is active use of multimedia technology and Internet resources. The author considers concepts of sex, love, and reality — regarded as „traditional” for the „X-es” — where ideas and principles of „Y-es” are becoming more and more conspicuous.
