Taking the example of Marin Držić’s attempted conspiracy with the Florentine duke, Cosimo I de’ Medici, this article looks at theatricality as one of the key processes in the society of early modern Republic of Ragusa. This article discusses the ambiguous historical evidence testifying to dubious diplomatic actions of the celebrated author, who was a relatively powerless citizen in Ragusa at the time. The article further explores the repercussions of the discovery of the letters and the enduring consequences of this event that reshaped not only Držić’s historical persona, but also perceptions of political stability in Ragusa and could potentially change the view on the possibilities of an individual’s agency in state-building.

The English tragedy The Virgin Martyr (1620) is the first professional theatre adaptation of the medieval legend of St. Dorothea. Thanks to the English travelling actors, its shortened version entered Europe in the 17th century, becoming a staple of the later formed German theatre groups in the German lands. The hand-written play by Johann Georg Gettner Die Heylige Martyrin Dorothea (1691?), discovered by Christian Neuhuber in the Swiss Solothurn, offers an unique opportunity to analyse both texts, illustrating the process of adaptation of an English renaissance tragedy to German Baroque tragedy and outlining the performance conditions of travelling actors in the late 17th century Europe.

Anglická tragédie The Virgin Martyr (1620) je první profesionální divadelní adaptací středověké legendy o sv. Dorotě. Prostřednictvím anglických kočovných herců se její zkrácená verze dostala v průběhu 17. století na evropský kontinent, kde se v německých zemích stala stálicí repertoárů později utvořených německých hereckých souborů. Rukopisná hra Johanna Georga Gettnera Die Heylige Martyrin Dorothea (1691?), objevená ve švýcarském Solothurnu v roce 2011 Christianem Neuhuberem, nabízí jedinečnou možnost analýzy obou textů, která ilustruje adaptační proces přerodu anglické renesanční tragédie v německou tragédii barokní a nastiňuje inscenační podmínky kočovných herců v Evropě na sklonku 17. století.
