"Stanislaw Wyspiański's Hamlet"
An improvisation on William Shakespeare's "Hamlet"
Adaptation, direction, and production design: Jerzy Grzegorzewski, Narodowy Theatre in Warsaw, September 2003.
languages: Polski  / English 
 

This is Jerzy Grzegorzewski's fourth production at the Narodowy Theatre in Warsaw based on a text by Stanisław Wyspiański. Grzegorzewski has drawn on Wyspiański's famous essay STUDIUM O "HAMLECIE" / A STUDY OF "HAMLET". The production, titled "HAMLET STANISŁAWA WYSPIAŃSKIEGO" / "STANISŁAW WYSPIAŃSKI'S HAMLET", will premiere on September 28th.

Once again Grzegorzewski offers a stage interpretation of a text that comments on one of Shakespeare's works. Last season the renowned theatre director mounted a production of Wystan Hugh Auden's "THE SEA AND THE MIRROR", a highly poetic work inspired by "THE TEMPEST". This time Grzegorzewski references an essay by Wyspiański that was the first penetrating analysis of a work by Shakespeare in the history of Polish literature. A STUDY OF "HAMLET" is saturated with the poetics of the Young Poland literary movement and posits a "vast theatre," one in which Wyspianski invents a characteristically Polish Hamlet, a hero of our history and an archetypal figure of the present.

Grzegorzewski presents the story of the Danish prince from the point of view of the dying Wyspianski. Wojciech Malajkat appears in the role of the famed Polish writer and artist.
"HAMLET STANISŁAWA WYSPIAŃSKIEGO" / "STANISŁAW WYSPIAŃSKI'S HAMLET". An improvisation on William Shakespeare's "HAMLET". Adaptation, direction, and production design: Jerzy Grzegorzewski, costumes: Barbara Hanicka, music by Stanisław Radwan. Premiering at the Narodowy Theatre in Warsaw on September 28, 2003.
