Summary/Abstract: A review of the play Nosferatu directed by Grzegorz Jarzyna (National Theater in Warsaw, TR Warsaw, premiere: 12.11.2011). Though Targoń appreciates the beauty of the stage solutions, she unambiguously criticizes the play. She believes that Jarzyna has not managed to make Stoker’s novel and Murnau’s film (the bases of the script) contemporary. The basic problem is that, while the vampire figure is usually an expression of concealed desires and fears, Jarzyna has failed to clarify the significance it has in his play, which makes it difficult to isolate the main theme of the performance.
