Summary/Abstract: Guczalska writes about the reception in Poland of the writing, concept and theatre of Constantin Stanislavski. The article begins with a description of the reaction in Polish theatre circles to the artist’s death in 1938, when reminiscences and comments about him appeared on the “Polish Scene”, written by such figures as: Juliusz Osterwa, Mieczysław Limanowski, Stefan Jaracz, Aleksander Zelwerowicz and Stanisława Wysocka. Afterwards, Guczalska points out the varied influence of Stanislavski’s legacy on the oeuvre of Jerzy Grotowski, Jerzy Jarocki and Krystian Lupa, drawing attention to the fact that this interrelationship is never simple and direct.
