One of the essential methods specific for theatre research is the method of reconstruction of a theatre production. It is a significant tool of studying the history of stage art. Practice shows that a series of reconstructions of key theatre productions presents a good point of departure for recounting the history of theatre to both expert and lay public. The paper suggests possibilities of how the stage history of a theatre can be related while focusing its attention mainly on two existing models: the Russian history of the Moscow Art Theatre (1898–1998), published on the occasion of the centennial of this world famous theatre company, and the current project of the Theatre Institute in Warsaw mapping out the two hundred and fifty years’ history of professional theatre in Poland (1765–2015). The experience of Russian and Polish theatre researchers expands the range of methods available for research into theatre art and offers interesting possibilities and prospects for developing and communicating the gained knowledge to society.
