The Dramatic Work as an Event

Summary/Abstract: A review of W.B. Worthen's book Drama: Between Poetry and Performance (Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford 2010). Agata Dąbek contextualizes the book in the discussion on the role of the dramatic text in contemporary Polish theater. "Worthen proposes a reading of texts for theater that allows us to step outside the frame of the present discussion on dramaturgy, questioning its very foundations." The author raises doubts concerning the dichotomic relationship between literature and theater, while "exposing the dialectical tension between the literary identity and the performative text for the theater suggests an interesting way of combining the two aspects."
