Jaques Copeau dramatised the novel 'The Brothers Karamazov' by Dostoevsky together with Jean Croué in 1911 for Théâtre des Arts. It was then presented several times in his Paris theatre Vieux-Colombier. The dramatisation was reflecting Jacques Copeau's theatrical ideas through which he succeeded to reform French theatre in the middle of 20th century. His dramatisation was presented twice also in Slovakia. By a coincidence, it happened in the same Bratislava theatre - at Nová scéna (New Stage Theatre). First time it was in 1947, translated by Helena Malirova and Zora Jesenska and directed by Drahos Zelenský. The second staging took place in 1967, translated by Katarina Belnayová, directed by Jozef Palka. The dramatisation from 1911 was not anymore suitable for the theatre of the sixties and the Nova scena troupe was not able to perform demanding characters of Dostoyevsky creation.
