“The Last Story” by PEN Member Kaća Čelan is an award-winning play premiered in Germany. It was showcased at The Tank in New York City in March 2010.

It's a duodrama, a war of conversations, of exploding phrases filled with emotions strong like gunpowder. Through “a verbal therapy” with and against each other, a striking parable of the battle of the sexes develops. The audience watches itself through the protagonists, “the last Adam and Eve”, who, like a lion and lioness, are caught in the cage called marriage.

The play illustrates the never-ending quest for paradisiacal harmony between a man and a woman. "The Last Story" is a postmodern, European version of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
