Summary/Abstract: Diana Poskuta-Włodek reviews a two-volume letter collection of the Wierciński family, edited by Marek Piekut (Maria i Edmund Wiercińscy. Korespondencja, Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute, Warszawa 2013). The monumental publication is a collection of letters and memoirs from 1925-1957. According to the reviewer, the most interesting and valuable fragments from the perspective of theatre history are the accounts of Reduta's tour around Poland. However, Poskuta-Włodek notices that theatre occupies little place in the books, and therefore she considers it first and foremost a document of life in three different periods – the pre-war years, the time of the occupation and the years right after the war – with theatre placed in the background.
