The analysis of one-act plays by Gillian PlowmanGulič, Kaja (Avtor) Hribar, Darja (Mentor) dramadramatikaenodejankaslogjezikovna razčlembaGillian PlowmanMe and My FriendThe Window CleanerThe Ox and the Ass.This diploma paper explores three dramatic texts by Gillian Plowman - Me and My Friend (1990), The Window Cleaner (2006) and The Ox and the Ass. Its main topic is the study of characters featuring in the works and their linguistic and stylistic expression as shown at the levels of register, colloquialisms and slang. In the first part, the history and basic features of the one act play are discussed. In the second part, linguistic and stylistic features of the plays are examined, paying special attention to the differences and similarities between characters and plays. The examination provides a framework for the comparison which is summarized in the concluding part of the paper. The author's main concern is to establish main differences and similarities between stylistic makeup of individual plays and characters and to find out to what extent the playwright has succeeded in adapting seemingly simple plot for the more demanding audiences of the 21 century.[K.
