About this person

Bolesław Taborski was a Polish poet, literary and drama theoretician, essayist, prolific translator of English and Polish, and a long serving BBC Polish Section editor and presenter. He chronicled and translated into English the work of some of the most notable Poles of the Post-war era of the 20th century, such as Lech Wałęsa, Jan Kott, and Jerzy Grotowski. His undoubted influence on modern theatre has yet to be assessed in detail. He had a personal friendship with Pope John Paul II which grew out of their shared interest in literature and the fact that Taborski was his literary translator into English.
