Risto Krle

Died in 1975

Risto Krle was born in Struga on 3 September 1900, into a poor family; his father was a master shoemaker, and he followed the same trade, after schooling that was often interrupted. In 1925 he left to work as a shoemaker in Podgradec, in Albania. Coming to the theatre through an amateur troupe in his town, he wrote a handful of plays and a few short stories, settled in Skopje after the war and died there on 29 October 1975.
