Just say “Topalovići” and everyone who has seen the cult film treat will already have a smile on their face. The dysfunctional family that runs a funeral business and profits from others’ misfortunes and deaths has not lost popularity over the years; instead, they are gaining new fans. The unforgettable characters, excellent dialogues, and a story that mocks death and false morality will be retold long after the play, which was sold out months in advance even before its premiere. “The Marathon Family” is a classic that is not forgotten. Don’t expect the film on stage, but we guarantee that the performance by the actors of the Croatian National Theatre in Osijek will make you laugh to tears. Those who survive will tell the tale.
