Book excerpt: Kalina Stefanova surveys Eastern European theatre after the collapse of the Soviet Union, presenting factual information about the many different spheres of theatre there today -- from playwriting, directing and acting, to repertoire creation and theatre management. She covers the current theatre situation in Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and the Ukraine, including interviews with major directors and playwrights such as Yury Lyubimov, Vaclav Havel, Andrei Sherban, and Ismail Kadare. By presenting material never previously published on theatre life during the Communist years, she is able to compare theatre before and after the political changes.
