Co się dzieje z „naszą klasą”?
What' New with "Our Class"?

Summary/Abstract: Maryla Zielińska describes the foreign reception of Tadeusz Słobodzianek, opening by reflecting on the dichotomy between the number of stagings in Poland (two) and abroad (a great number). She ponders what interests foreigners in themes of Polish history, and the theatrical potential in the work's restrictive form. The critic compares Poland's “canonical” staging by Ondrej Spišák with performances in Oslo, Vilnius, and Helsingborg. Zielińska notes differences in terms of the directors' approaches to history, Jews, and extremism, and also in the drama's reception, which is conditioned by the socio-political situation in a given country and the world.
