K počiatkom slovenského divadelníctva v dvadsiatych rokoch 20. storočia. Ján borodáč a Štefan Krčméry
The beginnings of Slovak Theatremaking in the 1920s. Ján borodáč and Štefan Krčméry

Summary/Abstract: The birth of the Slovak National Theatre did not immediately yield the growth of Slovak drama and Slovak theatre art. Its dramaturgical and staging challenges were just waiting for the first Slovak actors, dramaturges, and directors. In the early years of his career, by gradual steps, Ján Borodáč endeavoured to promote the Slovakness of the predominantly Czech drama ensemble of the national theatre. In person and in writing, he frequently exchanged views with the leading figures of Slovak culture, including the literary critic Štefan Krčméry. The discovered correspondence of Borodáč corroborates his efforts and supplements and clarifies some issues regarding the professionalization of theatre in the 1920s.
