Abstract: The book review discusses the evolution of theater censorship in contemporary Europe, highlighting how censorship adapts to social, cultural, and political factors. It focuses on European countries with diverse backgrounds, such as Slovenia, Poland, Hungary, and Russia, examining direct and indirect censorship mechanisms. The volume presents case studies on modern censorship, historical legacies, and current taboos, emphasizing the persistence of censorship in democratic societies through sophisticated forms.
