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?
Spectacle for adult audiences
Please mind that the show features nudity scenes, smoke effects and cigarette smoke.
