Antoni Libera, one of Polish finest playwrights, essayists, translators, critics, writers and scholars, who knows a lot about Beckett, Sophocles and many others, wrote this brilliant play, "Madame" in 1998. It is, along with "Godot and his shadow" from 2009 among his most famous works.
"Madame" is a story of a teacher of French in one of the Polish high schools in the 1960s. Times are taugh in Poland then, in times of communism people cannot travel anywhere, their moves are restricted, so are the things they believe and feel. Gloomy times, hard ones too.
