Skrypt z Reymonta
A Handout on Reymont

Summary/Abstract: Monika Wąsik writes of The Promised Land directed by Remigiusz Brzyk of the Nowy Theater in Łódź (premiere: 4.12.2015). The author stresses that the director only brings out the main plot lines of Władysław Reymont's novel – in her opinion the performance is like a handout summary of the text. Wąsik takes a critical approach to the director's conservative rendition of Reymont's novel – she points out the performance's weak portrayal of the context of antisemitism, xenophobia, and poverty. She does appreciate, however, the interesting strategy of casting most of the actors in dual roles.
