Summary/Abstract: Maksymilian Wroniszewski reviews the 20th Shakespeare Festival in Gdańsk (29 Jul-7 Aug 2016). The author emphasises the balanced level of the Golden Yorick Award contest and comments on the performances by Forced Entertainment, Romeo Castellucci's Societas Raffaello Sanzio, as well as the Iranian Hamlet directed by Arash Dadgar. Wroniszewski is critical towards the thesis that this year's main contest had a strong political potential, instead focusing on other interpretive strands taken up in the performances participating in the contest.
