Summary/Abstract: Dominika Bremer reviews the play Rasputin by Jolanta Janiczak and Wiktor Rubin (Stefan Żeromski Theater in Kielce, premiere: 23.10.2017). She begins by forwarding the thesis that the pair of directors are again striking an analogy between the oppressive structure of liberal democracy and the institution of the public theater. Bremer describes the various characters, trying to name the political standpoints they take and to relate them to contemporary Polish reality.
