Abstract

The aim of the article is to introduce the topic of multiculturalism in Polish contemporary drama and theatre for children. Recent years have seen a growing interest in this theme, which is evidenced not only by the global number of texts, but also by the range of the topics covered, including death, the need for acceptance, and searching for one’s identity. The theme of cultural diversity receives an increasing attention from the authors. Drawing upon the selected examples of dramas written by the most popular Polish playwrights, the article analyses the ways of representing different cultures and finding otherness within Polish tradition. Theatre adaptations of above-mentioned dramas are an important context for consideration, and so do the references to dramas portraying war refugees.
