- This is the first monograph to offer a comprehensive analysis of theatre practices in Poland since the demise of socialism after 1989. Through an original conceptualisation of ‘political theatre’, it examines how changes to political structures, governance, religious faith, community building, national identity, and attitudes towards gender and sexuality have had a profound effect on Polish society. Providing access to scholarship and criticism not previously accessible to an English-speaking readership, the book required consultation of primary sources scattered across multiple archives in Poland that took 7 years to produce, and includes a historical survey of nearly 100 productions.
