“Never such innocence again…”: English and American Drama on the Czech Stage during the Great War

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The outbreak of the Great War afflicted the sphere of culture, and theatre was no exception. Although the common denominator was the bewilderment that followed the declaration of war and subsequent mobilization that paralysed economic and social life, the reactions of individual theatres differed. This article examines the English and American theatre repertoire in Czech theatres between the years 1914–1918, in which the work of English playwrights clearly prevailed. Shakespeare was by far the most commonly performed author. The number of Shakespearean performances peaked in 1916, when the world commemorated the three hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. Other playwrights included G. B. Shaw, William Somerset Maugham, Jevan Brandon Thomas, Chester Bailey Fernald, John Galsworthy, William Schwenck Gilbert, and Oscar Wilde. Furthermore, it will be argued that theatre functioned not only as an antidote to the world of politics but also as a powerful tool for understanding of national identity.
