HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO HIDE A SCANDAL?
Copernicana CIC and firstlight Theatre bring The Morality of Mrs. Dulska to
The Bear Pit Theatre
The play is a hilarious, biting satire about keeping up appearances. At its
centre is Aniela Dulska, a matriarch obsessed with public respectability
while hiding dark secrets behind closed doors. It asks a timeless question:
What will people ignore just to protect their social standing?
The production marks the play's 120th anniversary, coinciding with a major
revival at the National Theatre in Warsaw.
Director Danny Masewicz said: “Zapolska’s play is funny because it is
painfully accurate. It tackles the gap between the values we claim to have
and the choices we actually make when money or status are at stake. It’s
hilarious, local, and unsettling.”
This is a truly home-grown production. It brings together skilled Stratford
and Warwickshire makers, designers, and actors alongside international
artists. The show continues a highly successful local partnership,
following past hit productions like Under Katyń (2023) and My Child, Oh My
Child (2025).
Producer Magda Dylag added: “The emotional world of this play will be
instantly recognisable to Stratford audiences. It's all about family
tensions, money, and social pressure. We are proud to create this work
right here with local talent.”
The show is proudly supported by the Stratford-upon-Avon Town Trust and the
Polish Cultural Institute London. Local schools and community groups can
also look out for selected open rehearsals during development.
