This bachelor's thesis analyses the historical events that inspired Primož Kozak to write the majority of his plays. In the first part of the thesis the individual plays are summarized, and the time of their creation is established. The second part of the thesis studies the important historical events that Kozak incorporated into his plays. He often used revolution as the main topic in his works, with the focus on the collective and the authorities playing only a minor role. Revolution is a direct or indirect part of most of Kozaks’s texts, the only exception is his last work Direktor (en. The Director). In his other plays, Afera (en. The Affair), Kongres (en. The Congress), Dialogi (en. Dialogues) and Legenda o svetem Che (en. The Legend of St. Che), a parallel with real-time events can be drawn, with the first three plays depicting events from Primož Kozak’s personal life. Although various historical events in his plays are not directly connected to Kozak’s life, they demonstrate the author’s thorough knowledge and understanding of the history.
