DZIWNE LOSY SCENICZNE SAMUELA ZBOROWSKIEGO

The story of Samuel Zborowski’s produce, called “the strangest poem of Polish litera-ture”, is not easy to recapture. Until today there is an opinion, that Słowacki’s drama was only released several times. Many authors give the erroneous date of the premiere, the opinions about the individual realizations differ a lot. Sources from which you can reproduce the story of the staging are exceptionally imperfect. Most of the reviews con-cerning the theatrical reading of Samuel come from press releases or compilations or memoirs, written many years after the premiere. Not all of the directors’ specimen have survived, there are only three of sixteen. The purpose of this article is therefore not an objective reconstruction of history Samuel Zborowski’s scenic, but a story about what and how was reminiscent of it.
