Ivan Supek ( 1915-2007) was a Croatian physicist, philosopher, playwright, peace activist and humanist. He studied under Werner Heisenberg and was the first professor of theoretical physics at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics (University of Zagreb), where he founded the school of theoretical physics. He founded the Institute for the Philosophy of Science and Peace in 1965. Because of his view that atomic weapons should not be developed, he was marginalized by the Yugoslavian government. So he turned to writing a number of plays and historical novels. HERETIC was the only one of his plays that was well received by audiences and critics.
