Burn Monroe, Save Lupa
Krystian Lupa is going to show the legend of holywood at the moment of her heroic battle for her own identity. However, goddesses are not allowed to toy around. This is a play that is an important undertaking for Lupa himself, who is slowly going from being a mere director to himself being a legendary personality.

Here I am: Beautiful and Famous
Michał Borczuch has debuted at the TR Warszawa theatre with his vision of Dorian Gray as an icon of pop culture. This play is one for the dandies. It is about the problems of a niche group of people, using methods that only a niche group of people will understand. "I'm not a victim, I'm a celebrity," notes the nymph in Lulu, Borczuch's famed play from the Stary Theatre in Krakow. This is exactly what Dorian Gray could have said in the new play from TR Warszawa. Perhaps even the director would agree to this statement. Ths theatrical market seems to have in Borczuch another idol of the "new generation" of directors, besides people like Natali Korczakowska, Monika Strzępka, Wiktor Rubin and Michał Zadara, who usually have nothing in common beyond their relative youth and the fact that they are celebrities.

Jan Klata's Trilogy
To perform Sienkiewicz's entire Trilogy in one go is crazy. And thus we have a crazy play. It is funny, it is fearsome, it is surprising and even moving.

T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T is a more mature Jarzyna
T.E.O.R.E.M.A.T, directed by Grzegorz Jarzyna at the TR Warszawa theatre in Warsaw, based on Pasolini's work, is a play that proves just how much the director, long considered a "wonder kid" has now matured as an artist.

Children's Tales, directed by Piotr Cieplak
In essence, this is a play for old dogs. For folks who aren't embarrassed to admit that under the mask of "pragmatism," they remain simplistic and nave. The type of viewer for whom the play is essentially made ought to enjoy it. This is a type of theater where different worlds are born; where a gallery poses as the Brooklyn bridge, on which a taxi is driving, ridden by an unshaven hippy.

Lupa in Good Form
The premiere of "Silence Reigns at the Heights" comes with a sense of relief. Nothing has remained of the scratch walls on the margins of true taste that remained following Zarathustra at the Stary Theater in Krakow.

Zapasiewicz performs Beckett
Out of the darkness rises a shadowy figure. The strobe lights uncover a plethora of shadows in the darkness, and after a moment, illuminates many faces. Three micro-dramas: Katastrofa, Impromptu Ohio and The Last Tape. All that's left in them is the bare minimum necessary to remain theatrical. There are no people. Hard breathing, words, looks.

A Sentimental Play for Four Actors
Piotr Cieplak has lately been reminding us of Adam Słodowy. We watched his plays with eyes wide open, while all thinking the same thing: how did he come up with that?

High Expectations of LD after Absynt
A long standing ovation greeted the beginning of the Laboratorium Dramatu's first performance in its' newest location. It was the first play to be performed at the old Przodownik Cinema. Magda Fertacz's Absynt is a good beacon of what we can expect from the LD in the future, under the guidance of Tadeusz Słobodzianek. It was a hard hitting, unpretentious text, finely directed by Aldona Figura. The effect of the work of these two young artists is a play which has not even one bit of female warmth or sentimentalism.
