Zagreb is the capital city of Croatia, a modern metropolis with a rich history and culture, which has almost a million inhabitants together with its suburban areas to date. Other than Zagreb, the larger cities in Croatia are Split, Rijeka and Osijek, which at the same time also represent the largest economic, sports and cultural centers,which make them the main cities of their regions. Croatia is one of the youngest countries in Europe, which was internationally recognised on January 15th 1992. In its barely twenty years of independence, Croatia has become one of the leaders in the region. Croatia’s continued demonstration of pro-European ambitions have resulted in membership in NATO since 2009, and accession into full membership in the European Union as of 1 July 2013, as its 28th member.
According to UNESCO, Croatia is a country with the greatest number of protected cultural phenomena in Europe. This is thanks to its natural-geographical diversity, as well as its specific historical uniqueness . Croatia’s natural assets greatly impact the development of tourismsocial and cultural life. Therefore, today, Croatia represents one of the tourist super powers of the Mediterranean which is evident by the continual increase in the number of tourist arrivals. A warm sea, deeply drawn into the European continent, Mediterranean climate, contemporary motorways and a favorable geo-transit position, are only some of the reasons as to why many foreign tourists and world renowned tourism magazine publishers consider Croatia the most desirable tourist destination.

Whilst turning the world’s best-known tragedy into a comedy, the performers still pay hommage to the great work by citing its best quotes and putting the work into a modern-day context.
