Mateusz Nowak "FROM FRONT AND FROM BEHIND"

The monodrama focuses on the 18th century Poland just before its fall. In his novel, originally intended as a PhD thesis, Karol Zbyszewski ridicules politicians from opposing camps, clergy, army and spares neither the king nor the author of Powrót posła (The Return of the Deputy). He derides heavy drinking, laziness, recklessness, love of empty slogans and gestures, false religiousness, political vexations and other vice making the whole society in a sense responsible for the Partitions of Poland. This stage adaptation of Zbyszewski’s novel by Stanisław Miedzewski and Mateusz Nowak makes use of the panorama of the macabre world of fools described by the author, the fools directed by the main character, the king
