Tales from the Vienna Woods
Małgorzata Bogajewska directs for the second time at the National Theatre. This time she draws on Ödön von Horváth's 1931 drama.
A portrait of a society into which fascism is born. Vienna is in the midst of economic crisis and its inhabitants are lost; they have become cruel and petty, looking for simple ways to deal with a world that is incomprehensible to them. Will every attempt to live in one’s own way be doomed here?
Show recommended for ages 18+.
Please mind: this production contains nudity scenes, smoke effects and cigarette smoke.
