The paper deals with the phenomenon of literary theater that appeared
on Leningrad television and received its creative development in the
1960s and 1970s. It is an original type of television creative work that
combines the literary foundation, specifi cs of theater, communicative
features of television and technological techniques of cinema. Based
on the analysis of artistic possibilities, the author concludes that even
now the “Literary theater” is to a large extent one of the most pro-
ductive and organic forms for television broadcasting, which aims to
introduce the viewer to the best examples of Russian, world classics
and modern literature.
