Gdzieś, czyli nigdzie
Somewhere, or: Nowhere

Summary/Abstract: Aleksandra Majewska reviews Anna Smolar’s production of The Worst Person in the World based on the book by Małgorzata Halber (Wojciech Bogusławski Theater in Kalisz, premiere: 26.11.2016). The author outlines the action of the performance, the appearance of the stage, the atmosphere of the play, and the characterizations, and describes the moments when the actors leave their roles and turn to the audience to speak for themselves. The script deals with alcoholism and Natasza’s confessions, as well as social exclusion. The critic states that the play, set in an unspecified AA club, would have had a greater impact if the action took place in a specific place in Kalisz and addressed the issues of the local society.
