Aleksander Fredro's Z Przemyśla do Przeszowy and the Lvov Comedy Productions About the Railways

Abstract

Fredro's piece is to be commended for its qualities. Fredro himself, unsure of the status of his topic, devoted more than a one-act play to it, but did not consider it worthy of three acts. He saw haste as a new feature of our civilisation and presented it as a problem, not restricting his play to mere farcical effects.
