Made in Poland - A Festival of New Polish Plays: Sandbox/The First Time

These two one-act comedies by Michal Walczak examine the ferocious, tragicomic, rough-and-tumble between the sexes. Both plays explore different stages of relationships, underlaid with a cynicism and absurdism often found in Eastern European theater. The battle of the sexes literally starts in the 'Sandbox' with a hilarious confrontation between a boy guarding his space and a girl who just wants to play. 'The First Time' is an outrageous look at erotic interplay under absurd circumstances, when a woman demands from her eager boyfriend that their "first time" be perfect.
