Laughter is the most powerful skill in the world, the best medicine, the perfect emotional controller and a surefire way to relieve stress. It is precisely this continuous wave of laughter that is brought by the play Montenegrin in Bed, one of the most watched theatrical comedies in Croatia and the most successful Montenegrin comedy of all time. An hour and a half of top-notch entertainment is brought to the stage by the author and lead actor Peđa Šuškavčević, who has become a synonym for good comedy in Montenegro, but also throughout the region. What sets this play apart from many others is the witty and cleverly written text, great acting skills and quality set design. Montenegrin in Bed is a classic comedy that depicts the Montenegrin way of life and customs in a witty and recognizable way, talking about different stages of life and the challenges of married life. Through typical stereotypes, the play depicts the everyday life of an average Montenegrin couple with a lot of charm and warmth — and that is exactly why the audience reacts with enthusiasm. The enormous interest is confirmed by the fact that tickets are selling out in record time! The play has been running for over ten years, and last year it attracted an impressive 120,000 spectators. Interestingly, its popularity has not waned — on the contrary, viewership is higher than ever! The author and lead actor, Peđa Šuškavčević, admits that he did not expect such success: “The audience is insatiable for humor — every hall is full, and all the performances are sold out. When we started touring, I had no idea that the response would be so great. People come up to us after the performance, congratulate us, and say that they don’t remember the last time they laughed so much. All the organizers call their performances ‘hilarious comedies,’ but the audience often laughs only twice. Believe me, with us, the laughter never stops from the first to the last scene!” Don’t miss this theatrical treat that will make you laugh to tears!
