Summary/Abstract: Palgrave Macmillan Publishing House contributions on Global/International Theatre and Performance topics continued in 2021 by a new title 20 Ground-Breaking Directors of Eastern Europe edited by Kalina Stefanova and Marvin Carlson. The book is an important sign taken into consideration by its authors, especially since the theatre, in the last year and a half, has been one of the areas most affected by pandemic situation. Setting the spotlight on the twenty Eastern European stage directors represents a significant gesture in the very diverse landscape, always self-reflective in terms of status in the new context and in which the boundaries between the arts dissipate. The value of such complex studies grows both because they are momentary photographs, as well as a settlement in recent history with directions that foresee the future crossed by a thrill of insecurity.
