What is more, this paper tries to link experience derived from the world of theatre with translation knowledge connected with English Philology. It gives profound description of theatre environment and indicates how a translator can meet the demands and expectations of actors, theatre and film directors as well as their audience. It summarizes the experience of the greatest Polish translators such as for example Stanislaw Barańczak with acting and rehearsing theory provided by Constantin Stanislavski, the father of the most accomplished acting and directing system. Knowledge of these proceedings introduced by Stanislavski is of the utmost importance for all film and theatre translations if their work aims to be understandable by the audience.
