“Wstyd” – stage comedy “Teściowie”

“Wstyd” is a comedy play by Marek Modzelewski, directed by Wojciech Malajkat and produced by Spektaklove. The cast includes:

• Anna Dereszowska
• Marieta Żukowska
• Szymon Bobrowski
• Wojciech Zieliński

The action unfolds amid wedding chaos, as two families with different backgrounds, social standing, lifestyles and customs come together. The bewildered and shocked parents of the couple try to take control of the situation. Questions arise: what actually happened, who is to blame, what becomes of the wedding celebration, and whether to welcome the guests. Over time, tactful conversations turn into open conflicts that erupt in suppressed emotions. The play also asks whether a wedding without a marriage is possible.

According to the announcement, “Wstyd” is not a traditional comedy. It relies on sharp repartee, authentic emotions and strong acting performances, blending humour, drama and mystery. It portrays human relationships and invites reflection on social divisions.
