Wormwood: PerformancesPERFORMANCES: NOV 5-7, 2009
at the Iseman Theater, 1156 Chapel St
Like a diary from a journey across a country plunging into the night, or a letter written by shipwrecked people who entrust it to the sea, Wormwood blurs the line between fantasy and reality in its portrayal of life in Poland under martial law. At once heartbreaking, humorous, and brutally physical, Wormwood is a rare remounting of the landmark 1985 production that prompted Theatre of the Eighth Day’s exile from Poland, performed by the original Polish cast.
Wormwood is presented in association with the Polish Cultural Institute in New York and the European Studies Council, with a Title VI National Resource Center grant from the US Department of Education.
