Kapitoly z dejin divadelného života v spišskom regióne

In the contribution we outline dramatics and activities of members of Jednota mládeže slovenskej (Union of Slovak Youth) in Levoča. In the national consciousness processes and in the struggle for a new society, followers of Ludovit Stur (so-called “štúrovci”) attributed great importance to theatre. The then Slovak playwright (J. Chalupka) and the other nation’s amusing type of drama (e. g. V. K. Klicpera, A. Kotzebue, K. Kisfaludy) were typical for their drama creation. Revolutionary years of 1848/49 caused termination of drama activities at The Spis region and ending of this important period. We outline the image of particular drama productions (from 1845 to 1847) realized by amateurs in Levoča.
