They are dedicated to the issue of the Prague German Theater, illustrated the work of its prominent personalities, cover the theater critiques of the mentioned seasons and reflect the cultural significance of theater for the public. Thematically, the articles belong to the framework of the historical efforts of the German people living in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (and since 1918 in Czechoslovakia), to build a German National Theatre in Prague. This framework is based on the text of Jitka Ludvová "Nationaltheater und Minderheitentheater. Ideen und Theaterpraxis." This thesis also elucidates Urzidil's view of the theater in the theoretical platform and finally explains his views on the art in general. This subject is as well based on...
