Queen Margot
Power is a bloody pasion. A stage adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's famous novel by Grzegorz Wiśniewski.
France at the end of 16th century. A royal wedding offers a chance to bury all religious discord, but six days later the streets of Paris flow with the blood spilled in the name of God. At the Parisian court, personal dramas converge with historical ones among shattered hopes, obsessions, desires, plots and political intrigues. Watch grand History sweeping through the Wojciech Bogusławski Hall.
