Summary/Abstract: Analyzing Under Pressure, according to Maja Kleczewska and Łukasz Chotkowski (Stanisław Wyspiański Silesian Theater, premiere: 23.03.2018), the author recalls the plot of John Cassavetes’ film Woman under the Influence. Głowacka reads the play’s content in terms of Black Friday, which coincided with the premiere, and states that the play was a powerful commentary on the women’s protest organized in front of the theater building. She focuses on the script’s pedophile theme, interpreting Sandra Korzeniak’s role as Mabel and Antoni Gryzik’s as the father. She describes the realist function of the scenography, music, and projections, which are consistent with the artists’ vision.
