PERIPHERIES - WALDEMAR ŚMIGASIEWICZ

A collection of four contemporary dramas that, with insight and irony, reveal the absurdities of the world, human weaknesses, and illusions of everyday life. The characters in these plays grapple in unexpected ways with power, social hypocrisy, and their own illusions.
