Kogutud mänge

Dive into the rich tapestry of Estonian drama with the comprehensive collection "Kogutud mänge," meticulously assembled by the esteemed publishing house SE&JS. This anthology, initiated at the dawn of 2023, brings together the prolific works of the renowned playwright Paul-Eerik Rummo, whose contributions to the theatrical world have been described as both poetic and acutely aware of the theatrical milieu by critic Luule Epner in the literary magazine Looming (Issue 1/2023).

As you turn the pages of "Kogutud mänge," you'll encounter an almost complete selection of Rummo's seventeen plays, each a testament to his masterful storytelling and dramatic flair. The collection is further enriched by the inclusion of an open-air play, a piece crafted specifically for children, a radio play, and a film script, ensuring a diverse exploration of his narrative versatility.

The meticulous compilation of this manuscript was a collaborative effort, with Sirje Endre and Ivar Tröner working closely with Rummo himself to curate the works. From his debut play "Võõrad inimesed," penned in 1962, to his latest work "L-hunt. Pildikesi kohalikult taevakehalt" from 2022, this anthology charts the evolution of Rummo's dramatic vision over six decades.

At the end of the collection, you'll find a detailed index of Paul-Eerik Rummo's plays, dramatizations, radio plays, and film scripts, mirroring the structure of the 2005 volume "Paul-Eerik Rummo. Kogutud luule," also published by SE&JS. This volume is not just a treasure trove for readers and theater professionals alike but also a significant cultural milestone, preserving and celebrating the legacy of one of Estonia's most distinguished dramatists.
