Do mówienia o Polsce Conrad niekoniecznie potrzebny
Conrad is not essential for talking about Poland

Summary/Abstract: Dominika Bremer reviews two Conrad's plays: „Lord Jim. Ćwiczenia z czytania powieści Josepha Conrada” ["Lord Jim. Exercises on reading Joseph Conrad's novel"] by Maciej Podstawny (Teatr Współczesny in Szczecin, J. Szaniawski Drama Theatre in Walbrzych, premiere on 9th December 2017) and „Ciemności” ["Darkness"] by Monika Strzępka (Żeromski Theatre in Kielce, Imka Theatre in Warsaw, premiere on 13th January 2018). The author describes the subjects which are of the utmost importance for the directors. Taking inspiration from Conrad's novels, they talk about relationships between sovereign and subject, cultural narratives which are entangled in national discourse, colonialism and corporatism.
