These papers examine the nature and function of Czech and Slovak
Theatre abroad from the nineteenth century to the present day.
Immigrants used theater as a way to preserve their language and
culture, and the plays performed were usually classic Czech or
Slovak works. After World War II and during the Cold War, theaters
in the United States, like the Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia and
the No Curtain Theatre in Washington, D.C., produced mainly Czech
plays in English translation to acquaint the American public and
younger generations with plays by dissident writers such as Vaclav
Havel, Ivan Kilma, and Pavel Kohout. These papers are written by
noted scholars of drama and form a unique contribution to theater
studies.
