Polski megamusical? Teatr Wojciecha Kościelniaka a światowy teatr musicalowy

Overview & Synopsis

The book presents the artistic biography and some productions of Wojciech Kościelniak, the director and scriptwriter behind a number of novel and very well received music shows ("A Midsummer Night’s Dream", "The Doll", "The Peasants", "The Tin Drum"). His works are usually called musicals but to stress their uniqueness, commentators sometimes use a more whimsical name, "the kościelniaks". The shows by the artist are juxtaposed with analyses of famous musicals from other countries to demonstrate that "the kościelniaks" are not only fascinating artistic experiments but also the author’s original response to key trends in global musical theatre.
