Dyplomacjo, pozwól żyć
Diplomacy, Let Me Live

Summary/Abstract: Patryk Czaplicki reviews The Comediandirected by Agnieszka Olsten (Stefan Jaracz Theater in Łódź, premiere: 18.12.2015), pointing out the unusual casting decisions: the main role was, contrary to the text, given to an actress (Agnieszka Kwietniewska), and the innkeeper was played by the theater director (Sebastian Majewski). The author believes that these decisions transported the setting of the drama to Łódź, which is branded as provincial and insensitive to art. Czaplicki lauds the actors, who do a fine job of making contact with the audience, and recognizes Kwietniewska's effort in working the highest emotions and skillfully registering the ambiguities of Bernhard's text.
