Menażeria słowa
Word Menagerie

Summary/Abstract: The author, in his review of the first Polish anthology of Tennessee Williams plays: A Streetcar Named Desire and Other Plays (Kraków 2012), draws attention to the belated appreciation in Poland for this author’s output. Lachman’s text somewhat makes up for the fact that this volume lacks a critical introduction to William’s works. He penetratingly analyses the translation of the plays completed by Jacek Poniedziałek, who has managed to capture their stage resonance by adapting the language to the Polish spectator’s cognitive horizon, so this translation may be labelled as generational.
