TI - “This Movement Has No Chance of Success”. Franciszek Ziejka’s Traugutt
AB - The article is a commemoration of the 160th death anniversary of the head of the National Government, Romuald Traugutt (August 5, 1864). Although four dramas devoted to Traugutt were written before the war (in the years 1913–1933), they are surpassed in every aspect by the script of a television play entitled Traugutt, a work of great merit for Cracow and the Polish humanities by Prof. Franciszek Ziejka (recorded in May 1990 by the Polish Television Centre in Cracow as part of the series The Theatre of Fact). The title role was played by actor Jerzy Radziwiłowicz as he was accompanied by various artists from Cracow’s theatres (the Helena Modrzejewska Old Theatre and the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre). As Professor Ziejka deposited the text of Traugutt at the Jagiellonian Library with a clause of inaccessibility, I undertook efforts to convince the descendants of the author to make it available for research purposes. This attempt was successful, hence this article is a presentation of this play in the context of historical research on the January Uprising.
