Kwartet dla Z
A Quartet for Z.

Summary/Abstract: A review of the play The Queen’s Peacock directed by Paweł Świątek, produced at the Stary Theater in Krakow (premiere: 27 X 2012). The director chiefly concentrates on the language of Dorota Masłowska’s novel, to which she subordinates the action, set design, and characters. The actors’ technical ability extracts the rhetoric from Masłowska’s text, showing the figures to be appropriated by various ideologies, caricatures assembled from social clichés and cultural formulae. Masłowska aims her critical blade not only at the protagonists, but at the audience as well.
