Formy nieprzygotowania w teatrze
Forms of Unpreparedness in the Theatre

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses various forms of unpreparedness that can be observed in theatre. Analysis based on examples of specific forms of unpreparedness is the starting point for a scrutiny of their semantic potential. The research material includes the London-based theatre company Complicité, its artistic director Simon McBurney, as well as the actress Kathryn Hunter, a long-time associate of the company. The starting point for the argument is the cancelled press performance at the Barbican Centre during the London presentation of the adaptation of Olga Tokarczuk’s “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead”, and consequences of this unexpected event.
