Summary/Abstract: Reviewing the recent book by Tadeusz Kornaś (Schola teatru Węgajty. Dramat liturgiczny/The Choir at Węgajty and Liturgical Theatre, Krakow 2012), Wojciech Dudzik regrets that the book written by Kornaś – an expert in the field of alternative theatre – does not offer a comprehensive, monographic account of the topic. Instead, he focuses narrowly on the complex topic of the relation between the liturgy and theatre as well as on drama in relation to dramatized reconstructions of liturgy prepared by the Węgajty choir. The reviewer appreciates the archival and historical work which has been done to prepare to book, but stresses the obvious omissions and suggests the topics or motifs worth pursuing.
