This aggressively visceral work from the fearless TR Warszawa—fast becoming Poland's premier theater company—revolves around a prodigal son's inauspicious return home to a world where ideals such as marriage, motherhood, and family are rapidly deteriorating. A gripping morality tale by Israeli playwright Hanoch Levin, Krum uses spare, probing dialogue to expose a society paralyzed by fright and careening towards disaster.
