In the first essay, "Sources of the Czech Design Legacy," Brandesky establishes the context for the development of Czech theatre design, tracing the tumultuous political history of the Czech Republic from 1415, when Catholic priest Jan Hus was burned at the stake for advocating church reform, thus marking the beginning of the Bohemian Reformation, through the Velvet Revolution of 1989, which resulted in the election of a dissident playwright, Václav Havel, as president of the new Czechoslovakia, reinforcing theatre as an institution of national identity. Vera Ptackova's essay, "Trends in Twentieth- Century Czech Theatre Design," links Czech design with various modern art movements, emphasizing the contributions made to theatre design by architects and painters whose works bear the influences of symbolism, expressionism, and cubism.
