Fredro: The Jubilee Year

Do you know Fredro? Not necessarily...

Fredro, as a teenager, experienced the horrors and tragedies of war. Fredro took them in his stride with a lively, irreverent merriment. Fredro, reflective, Fredro, ageing, Fredro, had monuments erected in his name, yet he was put on trial, and his name dragged through the mud. Do you think you know him? Well, listen up.

To celebrate 230 years since Aleksander Fredro's birth, the National Theatre invites you to an evening dedicated to the life and works of Poland’s greatest comedy writer. A word of warning! Due to the language used, and Fredro's explicit memories, this evening is intended for a mature audience.
