ZEMSTA

Alexander Fredro's Zemsta is a masterpiece of Polish literature and a canonical comedy exemplifying situational comedy and verbal humor. It stands as a critical work on Polishness, witty and remarkably relevant today in pointing out our national flaws and weaknesses. Director Krzysztof Jasiński (Director of STU Theatre in Krakow) returns to Teatr Jaracza in Łódź after 51 years since his directorial debut. How will Fredro's nearly 190-year-old brilliant text resonate in 2022? Will the next generation of Raptusiewiczs and Milczks take the finale to heart, something so needed today? A comedy that never ages certainly still has much to say about the contemporary world.
