Jan Mukařovský is the author of numerous theoretical and overview works on theatre and dramatic art, but only a part of it is widely known and commented on. The main aim of this study is not to provide a complete and exhaustive account of Mukařovský's studies on theatre and dramatic art, but rather to identify their most important characteristics, mutual relations, the circumstances in which they were produced and the broader context. The author of the study argues that Mukařovský's interest in theatre and stage speech was always an integral part of his research into poetics, aesthetics and semiotics of art, and despite several internal contradictions, his academic orientation is in principle continuous.
