Summary/Abstract: A very important actor in his time, almost forgotten nowadays, George Ciprian is mentioned instead by the literary histories as a dramatist, one of the most important in the interwar period. However, only two of his plays – not very numerous by the way – are considered significant, one of them, Omul cu mârţoaga, being extremely successful all over the Europe in that time. Beside this play and Capul de răţoi, there are at least other two plays, less known, but which strenghten a certain literary and human profil of this very interesting and original writer, and a real dramaturgical calling as well, unfortunately uncultivated seriously enough. The study below is part of a monographic book which is in progress.
