Choroby polskiego teatru
The Ailments of the Polish Theater

Summary/Abstract: Paweł Sztarbowski puts forward the thesis that “the theater as we know it will probably soon come to an end.” It is threatened by commercialism, which forces directors to abandon artistic experiments and submit to the laws of the market. The author indicates a range of negative phenomena in the work of private institutions, theater schools, journalism, and festival organizations, all the result of new policies toward theaters. Sztarbowski proposes a positive rehabilitation program, using theatrical experiments in repertoires that draw mass audiences.
