Beschreibung

Collected Plays Volume 1, Plays for One Actor, is the first volume of dramas by Kazimierz Braun in a bilingual, Polish-English edition. It contains two dramas for an actress and five for an actor. "Emigrant Queen" tells the story of the fate and journey of the great actress Helena Modrzejewska (Modjeska), a star of Polish and American stages in the second half of the 19th century. "Hollywood Means Sacred Forest" depicts the attempts of a Polish actress to make a career in America in the 1980's. The texts about Tadeusz Köciuszko, Cyprian Kamil Norwid, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and Saint Maximilian Kolbe are biographical dramas about these great Poles who-each in their own field-had a huge impact on the course of Polish history, its literature and culture, as well as Polish spirituality; they also made their mark on history in its broadest sense. Kazimierz Braun is a director, writer, and scholar. He was artistic director and general manager of professional theatres in Poland. He directed in Poland, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and other countries. He taught at Polish and American universities. He published several books on theatre history and theory, as well as novels, dramas, and poetry. His plays have been staged in Poland, USA, Canada, and Ireland
