"Constellations"

This was the last show of the XX International Festival of Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant. On Friday, 4 April, we saw “Constellations” produced by Polonia Theatre from Warsaw and directed by Adam Sajnuk.

 

“Constellations” is the best known play of a young British playwright, Nick Payne. It won the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play and has been in the repertoire of London’s Royal Court Theatre since January 2012. It tells an apparently simple story of two young people falling in love after a meeting at their friends’ place. Marianne is a specialist in quantum physics, Roland is a bee-keeper. However, the story is not based on a linear narrative. It presents different constellations and various versions of the same situation and shows that both banal and important events can influence our fate. The conversation’s tone as well as the attitude towards the other man have their consequences. The play directed by Sajnuk is half poetic, sentimental, touching and at the same time amusing and outdistanced.

After the show that was received with applause Łukasz Drewniak spoke with the actors. Maria Seweryn and Grzegorz Małecki told about their work with Adam Sajnuk, who is a respected actor, director, script writer and artistic director of WARSawa Theatre

Thank you for your presence and we invite you to the next year’s International Festival of Plays Pleasant and Unplesant!
