Sen o Kalifornii
A Dream of California

Summary/Abstract: Beata Kustra reviews Paweł Wodziński's Grapes of Wrath, based on the John Steinbeck novel (Polski Theater in Bydgoszcz, premiere: 16.01.2016). She hazards the thesis that the open ending of the performance and the director's abandonment of the hopeful finale of Steinbeck's novel might suggest that the Joad family represents contemporary migrants. Kustra points out the spare set design and the musical layer of the play, demonstrating that the text is most important in Wodziński's Grapes of Wrath. She thinks that the judicious selection from Steinbeck's novel means that this play can be read as an attempt to diagnose the crisis in the capitalist era.
