Collection of criticisms Why already? Author Vesna Jurca Tadel focuses attention on records of performances of Slovenian dramatic texts, and expands this focus with records of performances based on dramatizations of foreign texts by Slovenian authors, as well as with several original performances selected by the author.

The selection of texts testifies to the situation of Slovenian theatre production in the period between 1999 and 2013, during which the author was simultaneously present in the magazines Sodobnost and Ampak, in the newspaper Delo, and in the biweekly newspaper Pogledi as an agile companion of theatre events in Slovenia and abroad.

The almost one and a half decade from 1999 to 2013 may not seem too distant from the vantage point of 2020. This very fact also resonates as an exclamation point, as a look at the current media position of theatre criticism (and art criticism as a whole) leads us to be contrite at the "chronological" fact of how abruptly the position of theatre criticism in the media and spiritual climate of Slovenia has deteriorated and continues to sink.

The efforts of decision-makers clearly do not go beyond declarative phrases. The importance of professionally reliable theatre criticism, which is also specifically pointed out by the author of the accompanying study, Dr. Lado Kralj, seems increasingly redundant.

In this sense, the collection bears witness Why already? also about a time when the conditions for theatre criticism were still established in a way that can be felt today as an unattainable ideal.
