Samuel Beckett: Happy Days Directed by: Antoni Libera First opened at Teatr Dramatyczny, Warsaw 1995/2008 Cast: Maja Komorowska (Winnie), Adam Ferency (Willi) Translated by: Antoni Libera Sets: Ewa Starowieyska Set designer’s assistant: Anna Klikowicz Lighting: Rafa³ Rudkowski Sound design: Dariusz Kamiñski Make-up: Izabela Jahnz Stage manager: Barbara Zaj±c Produced by: Piotr Duda Such intensive, pure and noble performances are few and far between. Beckett’s character is embedded in a mound of earth in the wilderness: in Act I she is buried up to her waist, in Act II up to her neck. At first the actress can use her hands and props, she has things with which to keep herself busy and engage the audience. Later on, however, she is left with just her head, face, voice. Winnie falls into herself, the world around her is dying, we know there will be nothing left at the end. To play more than one can play is a challenge that Beckett sets the actor. Komorowska rises to it, giving Winnie a unique flavour.
