Summary/Abstract: An analysis of the "Transfer! Texts for Theater" anthology (Wydawnictwo Krytyki Politycznej, Warsaw 2015), edited by Joanna Krakowska. Piotr Dobrowolski concludes that the selected texts are often an adaptation or compilation of various literary sources, as well as paraphrases, reworkings, and pastiches of other texts from the world of culture. Dobrowolski feels that reading this publication lets one glimpse the vague and unspoken assumptions behind recent theater literature, and its tendency to reconstruct. He admires the high standard of the texts chosen for the anthology, which, according to the author, fills a major gap in the popularization and promotion of Polish theater writing.
