Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Latvian Drama Today (3718 words) |
 | One of the factors that determined the situation of Soviet Latvian drama was its isolation from the currents that swept the Western world in the 50's and 60's and even contaminated the Czech and the Polish theaters. |
| Outside drama, apart from the literary quack, in poetry and the novel in Soviet Latvia, there are writers who surpass the topical and the orthodox and invest their work with a universality of meaning, polyvalent and open to the world, though imbedded in the matrix of the Latvian ethos. |
| On the other hand, one may argue, it would not be fair to deplore the present immobility of Latvian drama, when the world theater, in the aftermath of the effervescence of the 50's and 60's, is pausing and hesitating. |
