The Sailor, one of the more important works of Jerzy Szaniawski, has been regarded by the critics as dealing with the issues of truth and legend. The aim of the paper is to present a new interpretation of the play and to show that the key problem addressed by the playwright is the conflict between Form and Life, which is considered by numerous critics to be the quintessence of the so-called philosophy of Luigi Pirandello. The similarities between the theatres of both playwrights have been frequently, albeit in rather general terms, pinpointed by critics. Therefore, it is worth examining The Sailor in the context of works by the Sicilian author. The study indicates that Szaniawski’s play contains numerous elements vital in Pirandello’s works, such as: the problem of the relativity of truth, the impossibility to define a human personality, the confinement of an individual into a form as a consequence of judgements by others, and – most importantly – the conflict between Form and Life, and their mutual relations, all of which let us claim that The Sailor is close to Pirandello’s works.

The stake in a heated discussion on reviving tarantism in the Salentian culture by initiators and partcicipants of the project ‘The spider of a dancing god’ was the reinterpretation of the phenomenon itself: tarantism, which was perceived as a thing of the past and an embarrassing social problem, was to become artistically modified, namely isolated from life and displayed on stage. Rejecting tarantism as a folk practice and an attempt at representing it could also be interpreted as turning a blind eye to the problem of a woman’s position in society, without proposing anything in turn. Technological and social progress did not go hand in hand with the emancipation of an Italian woman. Luigi Piradnello in his drama, and Franka Rame in her monodrama captured this phenomenon brilliantly.

one of the most interesting objects of analysis, either from the formal point of view or from the perspective of the attempts to justify the choice to play them. The scope of the present article is an analysis of the reception of two dramas by Pirandello played during the PRL period in Cracow: Henry IV and As You Desire Me, both of them played in the Stary Teatr in Cracow. By investigating opinions of the critics’ reaction to the plays and artistic biographies of their directors, the author attempts to find a connection between the meanings of Pirandello’s texts and the socio-political context of Poland in the Communist era.
