Dušan Jovanović

Dušan Jovanović se je rodil leta 1939 v Beogradu. Po koncu vojne, leta 1953, se je z očetom preselil v Ljubljano. Leta 1965 je diplomiral iz angleščine in francoščine na ljubljanski Filozofski fakulteti ter absolviral režijo na Akademiji za gledališče, radio, film in televizijo. V dramah raziskuje eksistencialno in družbenozgodovinsko problematiko modernega porevolucijskega obdobja. Bil je med prvimi, ki so v slovenski dramatiki uporabili ideje čistega oz. skrajnega modernizma. V svojih prvih delih se je tematike loteval v slogu dramatike absurda, nato bolj realistično in angažirano, približal se je tudi postmodernizmu.
