The Great Gatsby by Francis Scott Fitzgerald – one of the most important novels of the 20th century – on the stage of the Słowacki Theatre! A tale of a great dream, great love, great disappointment and great emptiness. A tale of a world shaking off the dark times of war, throwing itself into the revelries of the Jazz Age.

Jay Gatsby's residence, the Valley of Ashes, Long Island, USA. The summer of 1924. Around 8 p.m. A string of posh limos pull into the driveway. The servants welcome the guests with broad smiles and champagne. Inside, you can hear the bustle and sounds of a jazz band tuning up. The overwhelming, dizzying scent of perfume, flowers, desire and money. And the constant questions: where is the host, how did he manage to invite the crème de la crème of New York?, and finally: who is this Great Gatsby? Suddenly there comes the music – swinging, rousing. Everyone hastily sheds their expensive coats and runs onto the dance floor. And you? What are you waiting for? Get in and party with us!

We all know the first lines of the invocation opening ‘Pan Tadeusz’. Lithuania is Adam Mickiewicz's homeland, which the poet lost just like one would lose their health. In recalling Lithuania, the first thing that springs to the poet's mind are its beautiful farmlands. But is he at all concerned with the stories of the people who cultivated those fields? ‘Pan Tadeusz’ is clearly focused on the story of the nobility, as its title suggests; after all, it tells the story of the last nobleman's foray. The national epic seems to completely ignore the rest of the world. So who is it written for? What do we, as contemporaries, actually have in common with the story of incessantly bickering nobles; a story that ends with the contractual marriage of a fourteen-year-old girl to the titular ‘Pan’? What does this story really teach us today? And what is it actually about? Are we supposed to admire it or hate it?
