The Yugoslav Drama Theater, on a couple of occasions, during its rich theater history, realized some of its most significant performances precisely based on the texts of Branislav Nušić. It is enough to recall "Grieving Family" directed by Mate Milošević, "Mister Dollar" by Miroslav Belović and "Počina" by Dejan Mijač. Those extraordinary plays, each in their own way, represented a small revolution in the interpretation of Nušić's works. In the year of the jubilee (50 years since Nušić's death), on February 26, 1988, JDP staged "A Dozen Silk Socks", adapted and directed by Steve Žigon. Žigon actually used eight of Nušić's almost forgotten one-act plays - "Schopenhauer", "Analfabeta", "Kijavica", "Pod starost", "Dugme", "Two Thieves", "Miš" and "The Fly" - and from them with a rather skillful dramaturgical intervention that combined these works, he created a play called "A dozen silk stockings". Although everyone emphasized Žigon's skill, as well as the playful, charming acting of the actors (Dragoljub Milosavljević Gula, Bosiljka Boci, Zlata Petković, Rade Lazarević, Srđan Pešić, Radmila Radovanović and others), the play did not move away from superficial fun, from the manner of the "French boulevard" , and everyone was expecting some significant Nušić project from the Yugoslav drama, in that significant Nušić jubilee year. Nevertheless, the play was a success with the audience, and in 1991 it was filmed for television.
