Though Dziady, written by Poet Adam Mickiewicz in 1832, has long been a staple of study in nearly every Polish high school, its appearance on the Warsaw stage a few weeks ago caused an uproar.

This Sunday is particularly cheerless, since Charlie has been summoned to trial for "impersonating a female" in a club known as the Adam's Apple, and may face a jail sentence. Since the confrontation never does take place, the play's electricity is static: tingles of apprehension but no real voltage of menace or depravity...
