Although marginally, the phenomenon of the 'proletarian theatre' affected Slovak theatre towards the close of the 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries. These ideas were imported to Slovak culture largely from the Czech theatre context, where there was an active grouping of left-oriented intellectuals called Devetsil. Their manifesto was built on the post-revolutionary forms of agitprop theatre proliferating in Russia. Anton Kret, theatrical advisor, translator, and theatrical historian, summarises the knowledge of the Slovak dramatic science on the presence of this phenomenon in Slovak theatre history and compares it with the development in the related Czech culture context.
