Extraordinary "Days of Wrath"
	As a non-Polish speaking couple, we enjoyed the Polish play tremendously and never felt lost. The excellent acting broke the language barrier and allowed us to follow the basic plot. Of course, the English synopsis of the play was a big help making it similar to our experiences at Italian, French or German opera, where communication is made possible through the universal language of human emotion. The play, “Days of Wrath” by Roman Brandstaetter at the Bright Mount Theatre, takes place in a monastery during World War II where local priests hide a Jew from the Nazis. The plot pits the Prior of the monastery against the Nazi commander Born in the attempt to save the Jew, Blatt. The set, the interior of the monastery, was simple yet to the point. Of the lead roles, the most outstanding were of Blatt, played by Jan Fiedurek, who managed a wide emotional range of rage, horror and sadness against the Nazi atrocities. Also outstanding was the role of the resistance leader, Waclaw Mucha, who seemed a natural for this part. The only female actor, Anna Golka, brought the character of Julia to life. The other actors did wonderfully in their roles as well. Much credit must go to Zbigniew Wojciechowski as the Prior who was constantly on stage and served as a thread to tie to whole production together. Bravo to the entire cast and director Adam Golunski!
