Summary/Abstract: A review of the play A Couple of Poor Polish-speaking Romanians directed by Agnieszka Glińska (Studio Theater in Warsaw, premiere: 16.09.2013). Leszczyńska sees the director as indicating the mechanisms of exclusion problematized by Dorota Masłowska, but putting more emphasis on the characters. Only the author's policeman sub-plot serves to hold the play together. The ironic/mock-literary images on stage are expressed uniformly and unambiguously, and saturated with pop culture, while the finale is stripped of any dream-like atmosphere. Leszczyńska remarks that Glińska's production confirms and reinforces the established ways of adapting Masłowska's work, walking the well-beaten path.
