Abstract
The goal of this article is to show in the play «Eve of Retirement» by Thomas Bernhard an example of how the topic 'theatre in the writer’s works' is closely connected with human reality. In the works of Bernhard the world turns into a big stage where people – actors play their own roles and parts. Bernhard’s «theatre» is concealed with commonness and everyday routine. Bernhard uses the theatre form in order to portray the difference between the life of a person and the appearance of his life, to present the complexity of the human «I». «Eve of Retirement» demonstrates how the living space of figures converts into Bernhard-theatrical space, how the build up of the relationships between figures relates with the «world out of window».
