part of the Playtext series

About Invisible Country

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century marked a tumultuous period in Poland's history, with artists and writers working under difficult sociopolitical conditions. This book contains the first English-language translations of four plays by Polish writers in the modernist tradition: Snow by Stanislaw Przybyszewski, In a Small House by Tadeusz Rittner, Ashanti by Wlodzimierz Perzynski and All the Same by Leopold Staff. Well-chosen and carefully annotated, these translations provide important insight into this under-explored area of Polish dramatic history and practice and facilitate greater understanding of its role in the development of European theatre. Also included is a broad discussion of the characteristics of translation for the theatre.
