  • More about Old Bridge (NHB Modern Plays)

In 1988, Mili, a boy from outside of town, jumps from the renowned Old Bridge in Mostar, Yugoslavia, while Mina, a local girl, watches. Mina and Mili never doubt that their future is together in 1992, a town divided by growing tensions. However, they are unable to foresee the perils that lie ahead. Igor Memic's play Old Bridge, which received the 2020 Papatango New Writing Prize, is an epic love story that examines the effects of a war that Europe has forgotten and the love and loss of those who lived through it.

Mostar, Bosnia, 1992. In a town increasingly divided by conflict, Mina and Mili never doubt that their future is intertwined. However, neither can they fathom the dangers that lie ahead.

Winner of the 2020 Papatango New Writing Prize, Igor Memic's play "Old Bridge" is an epic love story that delves into the aftermath of a war that Europe has all but forgotten. It was first presented by Papatango at the Bush Theatre in London in 2021, directed by Selma Dimitrijevic.
