Long, talky plays with turgid prose, mostly interesting as a curiosity. These plays need a heavy editing before anyone could possibly consider putting them on a modern stage. They are difficult to even read because of the long speeches, heavy philosophical discussions, and frequent historical references the audience is expected to understand without explanation. While it might have been true during the inter-war years that everyone could be expected to know all relevant dates in the French Revolution, that is a distinctive handicap today. The socialist politics of the author are on prominent display, even as she presents a picture of a people's revolution gone horribly wrong. Mostly interesting as a curiosity - historical plays from Poland during the interwar period. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Stanislawa Przybyszewski is recognized as a major twentieth-century playwright on the basis of her trilogy about the French Revolution, of which The Danton Case and Thermidor are the principal parts. The Danton Case depicts the battle for power between two exceptional individuals: the corrupt sentimental idealist, Danton, and the incorruptible genius of the Revolution, Robespierre. Thermidor shows the final playing out of this drama, as Robespierre, left alone with the heroic absolutist Saint-Just, foresees the ruin of himself and his cause, and in his despair predicts that hatred, war, and capitalism will steal the Revolution and corrupt nineteenth-century man.
