Take a surreal road trip thru today´s Poland. Two 25 year old Polish speaking Romanians full of raw energy and tenderness, meet many bizarre people along the way. Generations clash. Cultures clash.
But as they travel, its strange and exhilarating- since no one knows them, they can be anybody or nobody.
But The young characters don´t care about the past – they want to live now.
Hilarious, absurd, gentle moments burst out of this play by the new unique Polish writer Dorota Maslowska. At 19 she wrote Russian Red/Snow White – the book sold 150 000 copies in Poland and has been translated into many languages. Everyone knows the film. She has won many prestigious awards.
She has been called the “voice of her generation” – post communist, post modern, post everything
The play stars Jiri Madl, Jiri Ornest and other top Czech, Australian, British, American actors with a South African director who has directed in Africa, London, New York and Associate Director of the Nobel Prize winning Pinter Centre, London.
For the first time in Divadlo Na Zabradli, a play is being acted in English with Czech subtitles and an international cast. Written 3 years ago, it has been staged in London, Chicago, Vienna, Berlin, Australia and Warsaw.
