Czech theater has also been a space for public and political life. Barbara Day examines its role from the national revival through resistance to totalitarian regimes and the events of 1989. This English-language book connects creative practices with the civic significance of the stage.
In the opening excerpt, the author explicitly distinguishes her purpose from a comprehensive history of theater. She asks why theater matters so much to Czech society. The publication will appeal to readers of cultural history and the relationship between art, ethics, and politics.

What is Trial by Theatre about?
The discussion follows the national revival, the interwar avant-garde, and cultural resistance during the occupation and communist rule. The 1960s and small theaters during normalization receive particular attention.
The author is interested in creativity as a means of preserving freedom and a connection with audiences. The book is a thematic exploration of cultural resistance; its introduction makes clear that it is not an exhaustive history of all Czech theater.
