Publisher's Synopsis
"Dramaty Zebrane. Collected Dramas. Tom 1. Volume 1. Teatr Jednego Aktora. Plays for One Actor" is the first volume of collected dramas by Kazimierz Braun, published in Polish and English. 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 Kosciuszko, Cyprian Kamil Norwid, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and St. 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.
