Playing the invisible

The article investigates writing strategies employed by Stanisław Grochowiak as an author of radio plays. Burzyńska analyses two of his works: Zaczarowana stacja (Enchanted railway station) and Perła (The Pearl) based on the novella by John Steinbeck. The article focuses on tracing differences between a theatrical play, a narrative text and a radio play and describes various methods that enabled Grochowiak to turn apparent restrictions of radio (e.g. „invisibility” of radio plays) into artistic advantages.

The late 1940s saw Latouche moving about from place to place, and lover to lover. He maintained some connection with the political left in terms of his involvement with both the Henry Wallace campaign, and his advocacy of world government in works like the radio play Unhappy Birthday and the aborted The Last Joan, after John Steinbeck. He continued also to write popular songs and adapt plays for both radio and the stage, most notably Miss Julie for Elisabeth Bergner. He further undertook collaborations with composer Lehman Engel on Mooncalf (which premiered in Cleveland in 1951 as Golden Ladder) and composer William Friml on The Happy Dollar (which premiered in Houston in 1954).
