Description
Summary:Reviews the book edited by Kazimierz Braun (Greenwood Press, 1996, 235p, $59.95). Informs that while this book provides essential information on the history of Poland and its theater prior to 1939, it leaves out some important elements of Polish theater in the last fifty years, including profiles of contemporary artists who made considerable contributions. Opines that each new book in English on the Polish theater must be greeted with enthusiasm for its promise to reveal some of the richness and quality of the Polish art to English-speaking audiences.
