Foucault in Warsaw [Foucault w Warszawie]
The state's manipulations of gay men in communist Poland have become the subject of a growing and increasingly visible contemporary literature, which includes fiction, nonfiction, and film, starting with the publication of LGBTQ+ activist and writer Andrzej Selerowicz's 2015 novel Kryptonim “Hiacynt” [Codename “hyacinth”]. Remigiusz Ryżiński (b. 1978; thirty years after Selerowicz) made his literary debut in 2017 with Foucault in Warsaw, which wa…
Regarding and Reading Józef Czapski
The contradictions of Józef Czapski (1896–1993) begin with his physicality: he was conspicuously lanky and tall and stood out in any group. Born as a child of privilege into a cosmopolitan Catholic family of East Central European aristocrats (his full name at birth was Count Józef Maria Emeryk Franciszek Ignacy Hutten-Czapski of Leliwa), he lived a modest life as a bohemian artist in Poland and France between the two world wars and then experienc…

Witold Gombrowicz Diary of a Playwright
Witold Gombrowicz’s Diary does not fulfill any of the obvious expectations of such a work by a major playwright. Gombrowicz never attended the performance of his works or collaborated in any way with producers, directors, actors, designers, or composers. As a result, there is a complete dearth of theatrical anecdote in the text, though he expresses profound vindication at the positive critical response in Paris and Stockholm to Ivona, Princess of…

Festival Theatre des Ameriques (Montreal) (review)
The biannual Festival de Théâtre des Amériques in Montréal, presented in alternating years with the more focused event Théâtre du Monde, is one of the few North American providers of a world-class program of international performances—surpassing anything in the United States outside of New York City. Founded and led by Marie-Hélène Falcon, the festival is the only venue in North America for many companies. The festival is a showcase for contempor…
The Philadelphia Fringe Festival (review)
Over the past six years the Philadelphia Fringe Festival has emerged as an important showcase and catalyst for the city's growing alternative performance scene. Nominally modeled on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the annual Philadelphia event uses the city's historic center as a free-wheeling, pedestrian-friendly platform for a spectrum of both local and visiting companies. Unlike Edinburgh, however, there is no well-funded main festival to play …
The Late Henry Moss (review)
The star-crossed New York premiere of Sam Shepard's The Late Henry Moss took place immediately in the wake of the September terrorist attacks, which inevitably muted its impact as the first production in the Signature Theatre Company's 2001-02 season. The play initially came to New York under the cloud of the negative critical reception to its world premiere a year earlier under the playwright's own direction at San Francisco's Magic Theatre. At …
The Marriage (review)
Polish playwright Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969) was a French and Argentinian émigré whose work was largely banned in communist Poland during his lifetime. The Marriage (1944), Gombrowicz's most ambitious and difficult play, has found appropriate theatrical proponents at the Comédie Française in director Jacques Rosner (an admirer of Brecht and the child of Polish Jews who emigrated to France in the 1930s) and Andrzej [End Page 645] Seweryn (a Pol…
