  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the reception of Sean O’Casey’s drama in central Europe, defined for the purpose as consisting of Czechoslovakia (and its successor states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Poland, Hungary, and Austria. We see how, in this geographical area, productions and publications of the playwright’s work did not really take off until the 1950s. But this chapter shows that, from the mid-twentieth century, successful productions included Jan Werich and Jiří Krejčík’s filmed adaptations of O’Casey’s one-act plays in Czechoslovakia, and Zygmunt Hübner and Bronisław Pawlik’s Polish translation of The Shadow of a Gunman.
