MGL Library Book Collection is one of oldest editions specialising in theatre theory and research in Europe. Since its constitution in 1958, the Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL) has published over 150 titles, including theoretical works by Slovene dramaturgs and theatre practitioners as well as translations of essential texts on theatre research and history. The collection is run by Ljubljana City Theatre (MGL) and since 2007 edited by the dramaturg Petra Pogorevc.


Overview

The MGL Library Book Collection was launched in 1958 by Dušan Moravec, who focused on publishing original plays that were shown on the then Slovenian stages, contributions by theatre researchers and critics, and theatre memoires and manuals. MGL Library published first Slovenian translations of canonical writers under Dušan Tomše, who was editor from 1966 do 1986. It was subsequently edited by Tone Partljič, Vili Ravnjak and Tanja Viher, and Alja Predan, who enriched the collection with authors such as Artaud, Craig, Klotz, Pavis, Melchinger and Ubersfeld as well as with original titles by domestic theorists and practitioners.

The current editor of the collection Petra Pogorevc has been focusing on titles that illustrate the heterogeneity of contemporary theatre practices and reflect their wider cultural and social context.
