Jak teatr walczył z prl­‍-em (i vice versa)
How Theatre Did Battle with the People's Republic of Poland/PRL (and Vice Versa)

Summary/Abstract: A review of Maria Napiontkowa's book The Theatre of Polish October (Warszawa 2012). Nyczek briefly recounts the situation facing theatre during the PRL, mercilessly condemning the absurd and idiotic laws, and regulations making it impossible for theatre venues to function, which are cited by Napiontkowa in her book. At the same time, she praises the impressive work that Napiontkowa undertook whilst analysing a huge amount of (mainly party) documents dating from 1954 to 1957. This research enables her to fully acquaint the reader with a period when Leninist ideals were arduously implemented on theatre stages and by decision makers
