Przepis na wojnę w proszku
A recipe for instant war

Summary/Abstract: A review of War and Peace, staged at Teatr Powszechny, Warsaw (prem: 13 Dec 2014). The first part of the performance is based on the plot of Leo Tolstoy's novel which provided Marcin Liber's performance with its title. The second part has been written by Paweł Sztarbowski. The reviewer appreciates the visual aspect of the performance – especially its first part. However, she thinks it does not correlate with the asethetics of the acting. Leszczyńska also claims that the show, filled with allusions to contemporary politics and particular Russian politicians, overly simplifies the depth of its literary model.
