In 1981, Izabella Cywińska staged a documentary play called Oskarżony: Czerwiec pięćdziesiąt sześć (The Accused: June Fifty-Six) in Teatr Nowy. Avoiding clichés and unnecessary pathos, the author of the script Tomasz Śpiewak and director Remigiusz Brzyk make a light-hearted reference to this landmark performance to deal with the half-truths and legends that have grown around Poznań June ’56. You will not learn about any of this from history books.
