Summary/Abstract: Mihail Sebastian was an important playwright of the interwar period, known for his lyrical style, which emphasizes fantasy and poetry, different from the dominant realism of the time. His plays, such as the Nameless Star and the Holiday Game, address themes such as Jewish identity and anti-Semitism. In his dramaturgy, Sebastian explores the provincial space to highlight isolation and cultural limitations, contrasting the characters' desires for cosmopolitan exposure. Didascals are essential in his works, helping to create the atmosphere, character development and strengthening themes, providing a coherent and profound theatrical experience.
