Summary/Abstract: Theatre as “the most social of the arts” interacts with the audience, the surrounding reality and responds most quickly and accurately to social changes. Not infrequently, the stage itself prosecutes or catalyses these transformations. The article is devoted to the socio-political dimension of theatre in “People’s Poland” in moments of crises. In addition to the impact of the “Polish months” and martial law on the shape and content of the Polish stage, the article shows selected reminiscences of these events in the theatre, as well as the catalysing function of theatrical art, manifested in periods of breakthrough.
