Summary/Abstract: The point of departure in Zuzanna Berendt’s article is the critical reception of the play Mariage Blanc, directed by Weronika Szczawińska at the Stefan Żeromski Theater in Kielce in 2010. Alluding to the words of Primate Stefan Wyszyński’s sermon of 1976, condemning Mariage Blanc, the author investigates the critical potential of the drama in terms of the Catholic Church’s understanding of categories like freedom, family, and gender. Berendt focuses on Różewicz’s image of the family and the interpretation of the drama’s main female protagonist.
