Wierczory teatralne Adolfa Rudnickiego
Theatrical evenings of Adolf Rudnicki

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the less known domain of literary activity of Adolf Rudnicki, namely his theatrical critics published regularly in the polish journal “Świat” (The World) in the 50th and 60th years of XX century and collected later in the book Sercem dnia jest wieczór (Heart of a day is an evening). It is shown that Rudnicki presents his reviews of theatrical arts in a very unusual form, which is very complex and combines many perceptive levels. In his essays one will find professional philological analysis, comments about artistic life in Warsaw and poetic metaphors as well as his very personal opinions about selected plays and even gossips about actors. The way Rudnicki presents his observations and impressions convince the reader that one does not have to be an expert to formulate his own aesthetic opinions and they should not be depreciated by professional critics.
