| Description | The essay discusses the 1960 production of Tennessee Williams' play Orpheus Descending, directed by Jiří Svoboda at the Oldřich Stibor Theatre in Olomouc. It was the first stage adaptation of the play in Czechoslovakia. The analysis of individual components of the production demonstrates characteristic features of Svoboda's practice that can be observed in his other productions of psychological plays. To illustrate Svoboda's approach, his production is compared with that of Alfréd Radok's, staged at the Prague Municipal Theatre in 1963. |
