Abstract
Both Karol Wojtyła and Edith Stein were philosophers who wrote plays. The metaphor of the islands that complement a continent, used by Gabriel Marcel to refer to his own plays in relation to his philosophical works, is most suitable for organizing and unders-tanding the dramatic compositions of Wojtyła and Stein. Three continents can be identified, namely, the intellectual, the vital, and the vocational continent in their plays. This paper analyzes six of those plays in terms of the three different but interrelated continents, shedding light on a progression from the thesis play to the theater of commitment. The vocational con-tinent, aided by its political commentary, is the one that best illustrates the vocation of service to the community through the call to mediate between God and humankind
