...Krakow's hot spots. More serious soirées will be held in Temple Synagogue located in Miodowa Street, such as "Bridge to Peace," a concert by Dutch singer Shura Lipovsky, American singer-actor Theodore Bikel and Bosnia and Herzegovina's Mostar Sinfonietta on June 27. Szeroka Street's riotous end-of-festival party, with surprise acts playing to an international crowd, starts on July 2 and carries on into the next morning. Kazimierz's past may have been bleak, but the return of its vibrant Jewish culture makes for a bright future...

...real life Matt and Ben, dropping references to their past, contemporary and future lives, while managing to suspend the disbelief that comes with watching their over-the-top stage versions (not to mention their real-life “versions”). The impersonations—including additional riotous send-ups of Salinger and Gwyneth Paltrow—rely only partly on an impressionistic array of Matt and Ben-esque gestures, mannerisms and speech rhythms: hence the characters’ delightful confusion over which is the highest form of flattery, “imitation?...
