Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to confront the authorial paratextual strategies employed in the dramaturgy of Małgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk, with a specific reference to her play 'Popiełuszko', with the interpretive approaches to her texts. At the same time, the article seeks to refine the understanding of paratext as a textual variant of authorial intention that guides interpretation. The potential impact of para- and metatextual self-commentaries on the reader or spectator foregrounds the authorial dramatic subject and presupposes the variability of interpretive possibilities.
