It was Pam Gems' adaptation, so not the full text, and I think it was heavily altered. I think the original play is pretty well unperformable as a straight play - it's written more like a dream, and I saw it in a proscenium arch theatre, when it would have been much better in a theatre-in-the-round type space, more intimate. I'm curious to know how Wajda staged his theatre version, and if he left it intact - ok, I don't know many Poles, but those I do all know her name well, and he said at the time what a respected literary figure she was by then.

Have you heard of the insane-sounding 5 hour musical play done in the late 80's, with James Marsters from 'Buffy' as Robespierre, who is shown screwing his sister or something like that? Gawd!
