Marta GIBINSKA My interests and research have always been concentrated on English Renaissance literature, with particular focus on Shakespeare and contemporary playwrights. I am interested in how language in drama operates, how to lift the text onto the stage and see in it the potential of acting as a means of interpretation. I have researched the history of Shakespeare on Polish and European stages, reception of his plays in changing historical contexts, and finally, translation and its role in the target culture. |
