Pirandello as professional spectator Abstract Luigio Pirandello’s drama were unfailingly popular with Polish directors between the beginningof the 1960s until the 1970s. Native creators have undertaken dramas from differentperiods of the Nobelist’s output and covering various topics – bourgeois comedy to metatheatricalworks. Most probably those do not include all that were staged then.It appears that an increased interest in the author is to be connected with the 25th anniversaryof his death, as is suggested by Mieczysław Brahmer in the 1961 Tak jest, jak się państwu zdaje(directed by Zofia Wiercińska).The fact that both then and now critics and researchers in the majority of cases assumed, notnecessarily consciously, they are writing about an artist that is mainly a writer and only thena critic of stage productions of his dramas and a stage producer for his own texts is significant.As a consequence they focused mainly on deconstructing the “pirandellism” condemned byBrahmer, in particular on its canonical interpretation by Adrian Tilgher. Therefore, the followingquestion comes to mind: what kind of interpretations are possible when Pirandello’sworks (especially the first part of the so-called trilogy of “theatre in a theatre” which consistsof Six Characters in Search of an Author, Each In His Own Way and Tonight We Improvise) areconsidered from the perspective of purpose, that is individual theatrical activity of Pirandelloas a co-founder, principal and stage producer of Teatro D’Arte in Rome (in operation between1924 and 1928). The present article attempts at showing the possible direction of a search foran answer to said question with the starting point being the 1962 production of Sześć postaciscenicznych w poszukiwaniu autora (Six Characters in Search of an Author) directed by MariaWiercińska in Stefan Jaracz Theatre in Łódź.

This article is devoted to Maria Wiercińska’s work from 1946–1952, when the theatre actress and director focused on radio, first in Łódź and then in Wrocław. It presents the results of research based on Wiercińska’s manuscript listing her radio works of that time and on the script of her radio play Niebezpieczne życie (Dangerous Life, written and first broadcast in 1935 under the direction of Michał Melina), which has not been analysed or published to date. The extant script dates from 1946, when Wiercińska directed the radio play herself (broadcast in 1947). Thanks to the author’s notes and edits, it is possible to reconstruct her understanding and enactment of the principles of performance art in the new medium. These sources, as well as Wiercińska’s correspondence, confirm that radio was her passion, showing the place of radio work in her artistic output and the influence of her experience in recitation on her work with the microphone. The perspective of micro-history enables a thorough examination of this form of Wiercińska’s work, casting light on this somewhat forgotten figure. The article broadens the knowledge about women who co-created Polish theatre in the 20th century.
