Pieces of a Woman

Poland’s esteemed TR Warszawa company were frequent visitors to London in the early ’00s but for whatever reasons we’ve not seen them for a while. This is a very welcome – albeit extremely short – return from the company with Kata Wéber’s play about a thirtysomething woman coming to turn with a traumatic loss while her family crumbles around her. It’s directed by Kornél Mundruczó, who also helmed the more famous English language Netflix film version, which netted its star Vanessa Kirby an Best Actress Oscar nomination back in 2021. This version is performed in Polish by members of the TR Warszawa ensemble with English surtitles.
