Summary/Abstract: Review of Freddie Rokem’s Performing History, published by Księgarnia Akademicka. The author describes the basic assumptions of Rokem’s coherent yet elastic theory. Although she expresses certain doubts, she regards this book to be innovative in its manner of problematising the question of performing history. This title appears to be particularly valuable, as in it Rokem both establishes theatre as almost the best tool for communing with the past and holds the actor standing in the centre of the theatrical process to be accountable for its ultimate effectiveness.
