Robert Sturua’s Georgian classical plays set in the Rustaveli theatre have had relative success. Nevertheless, they have become the subject of active discussions among the society. Probably reason for this was a completely new approach by the director. When setting `Betrayal’ the director refuses to accept all other older traditions of staging this play, as he had done it in the cases of `Step-mother of Samanishvili’ and `Kvarkvare Tutaberi’. On the contrary he tries to widen the events of a concrete epoch and make this national character more universal. If in `Step- mother of Samanishvili’ Sturua investigates and shows the spiritual and social processes of human relationaship, in `Betrayal’ and `Kvarkvare Tutaberi’ he establieshes principles of political theatre. These priciples later develop in `Caucasian Chalk Circle’, `Richard’ and other plays.The concept of these plays is a struggle against injustice.With the aim to show better the meaning of the virtue, director is not avoiding to deepen and tense situations. In this way he is able to awake our minds and set us to defend justice.kaეკლექტიზმიმუსიკაბრეხტისტურუადადგმაEclecticismmusicBrechtSturuastagingtext::journal::journal article
