It's good between us

“It's Good Between Us” is one of TR Warszawa's biggest hits, besieged by viewers, praised by critics and awarded many times at festivals. The play by Grzegorz Jarzyna, one of the most important Polish directors, is based on the play by Dorota Masłowska, nominated for the NIKE Literary Award. It is a funny and moving portrait of a divided Polish society, overwhelmed by the weight of a traumatic history, torn between national pride and a sense of shame. Using crazy, inventive language and razor-sharp humor, Masłowska portrays contemporary Poland, where nuvores, pseudo-artists and media celebrities meet disillusioned youth and working-class people living on the brink of poverty. Everyone is trying to stay afloat with a toxic mixture of commercialism, Catholic nationalism and an idealized tragic past.In the premiere version of the play, the role of Osowiała Staruszka was played by legendary actress Danuta Szaflarska, a member of the TR Warszawa ensemble, who died in 2017. She was one of the longest active artists of the theater, performing in “Between us is good” at the age of 101. In the new version of the play, Danuta Szaflarska was replaced by Lech Łotocki, an outstanding actor, who has been performing at TR Warszawa since the beginning of its existence. For groups organized from secondary schools, we offer introductory workshops to the performance (please contact the theater pedagogy team: katarzyna.batarowska@trwarszawa.pl) .The performance was co-produced by TR Warszawa and Schaubühne am Lehniner Platz.
