Szczepan Twardoch

Poland. A bunker somewhere in the middle of nowhere. The not so distant future. Weary from the exhausting civil war, the delegations of the Patriot and Democratic parties meet under the guidance of a neutral Hostess to negotiate the terms of peace, and to erase the demarcation line dividing the map of our country. Weapons and phones deposited, notes spread out, the roar of explosions on the surface has stopped for a while – time to start the talks! ‘Peace’ is a play written especially for the Słowacki Theatre by Szczepan Twardoch, who also co-directed the play with Robert Talarczyk. It's a story about contemporary Poland and Poles. About our ambitions, fears, desires and frustrations. And about the fact that perhaps what unites us most as a nation is our... mutual hatred.
