Although Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are culturally distinct,
they share a common theatre history characterized by resistance,
first as a response to Nazi occupation, then as an ideological
weapon countering their annexation under strict Soviet ideology.
This comprehensive overview of contemporary theatre in the Baltic
states includes interviews with major directors, writers, academics
and critics, critiques of significant performances, and historical
information to familiarize readers with the region. It not only
discusses the political ramifications of the three countries'
transition from occupied Soviet states to independent members of
the European Union, but also addresses the aesthetic, cultural and
national issues associated with the move to independence and the
adaptation of a Western economic model. More than an introduction,
this book is a forum for ideas as well as a detailed, first-hand
account of the current scene in Baltic theatre. While useful for
anyone interested in contemporary theatre, it is also essential
reading for those interested in Baltic studies, post - Soviet
cultural history, and recent trends in East European literature.
