A very rarely staged but excellent political drama that has not been played in Wroclaw for over forty years. The Danton Case is set in Paris during the tempestuous days of the Jacobin dictatorship. The drama focuses on the leaders of the Great French Revolution: Danton’s fall and the burgeoning conspiracy against Robespierre. Jan Klata returns with this production to the scene of his debut. The young popular director debuted here, with a production of his own play, The Smile of a Grapefruit.
