Summary/Abstract: In her review of the Wrocław-based performance Will You Be Reading That for Good? (Polski Theatre in Wrocław, premiere: 12.04.2012), Aleksandra Konopko compares the staging by Michał Kmiecik (director) and Marzena Sadocha (playwright) to a hybrid docudrama and rally. The artists use a collage of authentic statements and texts published in the media to discuss the state of theatre in Lower Silesia, the protest in the arts community, and the stormy meetings between theatre people and decision-makers. The performance is meant to change “depending on what will happen in the real-life world of theatre.”
