Summary/Abstract: A review of the first episode of a theater series directed by Monika Strzępka, based on a text by Paweł Demirski, The Curse: Episodes from a Time of Hopelessness (Łaźnia Nowa Theater, IMKA, premiere: 15.03.2014). Kołsut takes a critical view of the dramaturgical structure of the play, pointing out the stilted pace of the narrative and the excessive duration, giving the viewer a sense of boredom and overappeasement. Another drawback is the low level of humor and its unexpected conservatism. The reviewer does appreciate, however, the splendid acting, particularly by Krzysztof Dracz and Paweł Tomaszewski. Particular recognition goes to the phenomenal creation of Dobromir Dymecki as the angry Jesus.
