Usypiające piękno papieża Leara
The sleep-inducing beauty of Pope Lear

Summary/Abstract: Mateusz Chaberski has an ambivalent opinion of King Lear directed by Jan Klata (Stary Teatr in Cracow, prem.: 19 Dec 2014). He claims that the potential of the director's idea – moving the plot to the Vatican, where Lear is the Pope, and his daughters become priests taking power – has not been fully exploited. The performance is incoherent and unfinished. It uses slogans and cliches instead of offering a suggestive commentary on the present social situation in Poland.
