Plastic is the Polish premiere of the latest play by Marius von Mayenburg, directed by Grzegorz Wiśniewski, a specialist in creating dense, psychologically complex worlds on stage.
A modern middle-class family: he is a doctor who is somewhat lost in life, she is an unfulfilled artist and a personal assistant of an eccentric and depressed artist, and their son is a teenager undergoing turbulent adolescence. Overwhelmed by their daily chores, they employ a housemaid. Her arrival makes the wobbly but familiar family life suddenly turn upside down.
