One of Poland's most beloved and prolific playwrights Michal Walczak returns to New York for an evening of play reading and discussion. Walczak's 2001 play The Sandbox, produced at eleven theaters in Poland and the US and translated into six languages, thrust him onto the international scene. Since then, his oeuvre has grown to include over 20 plays, including The First Time (2004, translated into nine languages), and, more recently, three plays for children. New York audiences were treated to Walczak's rough-and-tumble take on contemporary gender relations as part of Made in Poland: A Festival of New Polish Plays (59E59 Theaters).
The playwright will join a special evening focused on his past, current, and future projects, moderated by Frank Hentschker. A staged reading of excerpts from Walczak's plays The First Time and The Sandbox by Lanna Joffrey and Jens Rasmussen, adapted by Kimberly Faith Hickman, will be followed by a Q & A and reception.
