Polish Literature in English Reading Group – April 2026

Seven Plays, Stanisław Witkiewicz, 1920s (2004), 393 pp. Surrealist Drama

A selection of Witkacy’s numerous plays provides insight into what Polishness might have meant after regaining independence through surrealist theater.  In addition to reading and watching Beelzebub Sonata, which will provide a visualization of how his pieces may have been performed, we will read “The Anonymous Work,” “The Cuttlefish,” as well as “Theoretical Preface” and “A Few Words About the Role of the Actor in the Theatre of Pure Form.”

Google Meet meeting details will be emailed to individuals who register using the button below.
