Summary/Abstract: A review of the undivine comedy. I Will Tell God Everything, a performance based on Paweł Demirski's text, directed by Monika Strzępka at Stary Teatr in Cracow (prem.: 20 Dec 2014). The author points out three main themes of the performance, inspired by the life and work of Zygmunt Krasiński: anti-semitism, class struggle and family relationships. According to the reviewer, even though the language of Demirski's text is brilliant and ironic, it deals with well-known social phenomena that have been already described numerous times. Guczalska also reflects on finding „politically incorrect” ideas in classic masterpieces, in this case anti-semitism in Krasiński's play.
