Summary/Abstract: Theatre criticism deposits an important part of the memory of theatre, compacting the rhythm of the life of theatre. It represents a genuine collection of opinions/critical comments on acting, directing views, repertoires, set designs, costumes, and it manages to create an image of the world of theatre. It helps us become timeless viewers of still images portraying the profile of Romanian theatre in the second half of the 19th century. A mirror of its time, the theatre review allows us to understand the practices, opinions and values of that time, and to analyse the extent to which they might be functional nowadays.
