Nasz Wielki Mały Teatr
Our Great Little Theater

Summary/Abstract: A review of a modern version of Moliere's Misanthrope scripted by Julia Holewińska and Kuba Kowalski, who also directed the play (Polski Theater in Poznań, premiere: 14.02.2014). The creators of the performance retained the original title, the names of the protagonists, the order of the scenes, and even the significance of certain replicas of the dialogue, though they utterly changed the text, shifting the surroundings to the Polish theater community. Dobrowolski points out the universality of the world they present, as well as the aptness of many of their commentaries on problems in today's theater culture. He does opine, however, that some plots of the Poznań Misantrope are neither clear nor convincing.
