More than four decades a study by teoretician and historian Alexander Noskovic was lying in the archives of the Theatre and Film Cabinet of SAS. The author of the study deals with the meaning and the functions of dramatic directing in theatre. Noskovic is reflecting on then fresh experience of the Slovak theatre with limiting applications of Stanislavski's creative method. Due to the fact that he belonged to the former students and assistants of an outstanding afterwar Czech avant-garde director Emil Frantisek Burian, he is exploring the reasons why theatrical culture was able to return back to understanding of directing as a routine arrangement of a play in a space. Noskovic is analyzing the movements in the structure of a theatrical work of art, shifts in hierarchy of respective components in time indicated as 'greyness era' (first half of fifties).
