About this product
Product Information
This work explores Polish theater within the context of the political predicament of the country, which was conquered and divided by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (1939-1945) and then ruled by the Soviets' imposed Communist regime (1945-1989). Braun examines theatrical events, describes productions, and portrays artists from aesthetic, cultural, and political viewpoints with a scholarly and impartial perspective. This comprehensive introduction, the first of its kind in English, includes brief overviews of the history of Poland and Polish theater, clear discussions of major theatrical developments and the facets of theatrical life in Poland, and 26 detailed profiles of the leading theater artists of the period. The book is supplemented with a bibliography of sources in English and Polish, and indexes of names and plays (with titles in both English and Polish).

Reviews
"This historical survey offers a heartfelt tribute to the "theater people" of Poland who tried to save their culture from inside and outside the Soviet system. Braun, a noted expatriate Polish stage director who also ran several theaters, brings his particular insight, anecdotal knowledge, and informed understanding of noteworthy mise-en-scenes to bear on this general, modern history. Concluding encyclopedic sections--"Selected Issues" and "Selected Theater Artists"--drawn from the general texts, along with selected bibliographies in English and Polish, contribute to making this a very useful source book." Choice, "....as a primer to Polish theatre under Nazi and Soviet domination the book is excellent...the book provides a quite useful introduction to the intricacies of the Polish theatre scene since the beginning of World War II...as an introduction to the field and a convient chronology of some of the high points from 1939-1989, this book surpasses anything available today. It is the first comprehensive English-language introduction to Polish theatre of the period, and no other history of Polish theatre in English addresses the developments of the 1980's in the kind of detail found here, making this work the most up-to-date yet published."- Theatre Insight, "....as a primer to Polish theatre under Nazi and Soviet domination the book is excellent...the book provides a quite useful introduction to the intricacies of the Polish theatre scene since the beginning of World War II...as an introduction to the field and a convient chronology of some of the high points from 1939-1989, this book surpasses anything available today.
