Vytautas Rumšas and Dalia Michelevičiūtė chose one of the parts of Justin Marcinkevičius's poetic dramatic trilogy - the drama "Mažvydas" - for the second reading of the READING: DRAMA CLASSICS cycle. The plots of the trilogy "Mindaugas" (produced in 1969), "Mažvydas" (produced in 1978), "Katedra" (produced in 1971 and 2013) have a historical basis, they solemnly talk about the problems of the author's lifetime: the relationship between duty and personal freedom, ideals and their meaning.

According to the writer himself, he aimed for this work to show how difficult the first forms of our national life — state, writing, art — were born. In "Mažvyde" the need to preserve the native language in the nation is painfully reflected in the form of a poetic drama. The main character is a historical figure, the author of the first Lithuanian book, Martynas Mažvydas, sensing the approaching threat of nationalization and trying to preserve the Lithuanian word.

I am afraid to admit that it was not for God
It was a duty, but for the word. Literally,

Who had to be led from death,

Whose form had to be found,
So that he could testify in the ages

His presence and perhaps his life.
