In the centre of this master's thesis is a study of characteristics in drama work of a young Croatian dramatist and dramaturge Ivor Martinić. Next to the theoretic part with whom this paper will be supported by, the main part consists of analyzing Martinić's drama scripts. In the first section the author will be placed into a literary-historical context, and besides that, the term of „young croatian drama“ will be defined in a comparison to terms „new croatian drama“, „postmodern drama“ etc. Also, authors of a new generation of dramatists will be named in this chapter. The second chapter will represent bibliographic information about the author and will shortly display his most famous dramas. Considering the fact that inside Ivor Martinić's drama opus will be explored the apsurdistic background of dramaturgy, the third chapter will serve as a theoretical support about the poetics of apsurd and so in this part will also be listed her markings and representatives. Afterwards, the middle part of the paper will analyze Martinić's drama scripts and, besides the poetics of apsurd, language, space and time will also be a part of the analysis along with his authoric statements. Finally, the ending of this paper consists in a conclusion that will demonstrate what in Ivor Martinić's drama is apsurdistic, why does he reach for that type of writing and what does he achieve with it. Moreover, the conclusion will provide answers to the question of why does Ivor Martinić insists on an intimistic space in his dramas and what type of language does he use in them.
