In the “Burning Saive” newspaper, the chief arranges a gathering for the meeting, urges everyone to be honest (which in practice means reporting on themselves) and demands even greater efforts to describe the beauty and creatively the destiny of the luckiest country in the planet and of the authorities that so bravely direct this country. In the play by Jerzy Dobrowolski and Stanisław Tym, "The Dark Game" the thing happens as though in Romania during the communist era, but this satire for journalistic cyclicalism and lickiness has a much more universal dimension.
In the times of the Polish People's Republic, this hilarious comedy, written in the 1970s, could only be exhibited during the August thaw. It became a hit and was played with full halls respective 100 times. It turns out that after more than 30 years, which is commonly, although not rather right, many call "freedom", after these decades, erstwhile the Berlin Wall collapsed and the old empires collapsed, and we have free elections and democracy, jokes and comic situations with the "dark play" are unexpectedly up to date.
Here the viewer sees a full gallery of slippery characters that inform each other, plant pigs, kiss the editor-in-chief, take out different lewis, and sacrifice the hat of the current power on command. In democracy, this kind of service for the “mountain” of journalism should be the past.
Unfortunately, the last 8 years of the regulation of the United Right-wing squad have proved that it is servillism and blind support of the rulers that has resulted in many privileges and millions of grants. A symbol of specified a kind of journalism in the position of “on the knees” became the star of the erstwhile TVPiS Danuta Holecka, who in a celebrated interview with president Duda asked, winkingly blinking her eyelashes, “What else do you gotta do to win the election?”
The editorials of many right-wing writings and newspapers, as well as all those who "survived" in the state media for the last fewer years, should go to a performance in Oh-Teatra to look in the mirror for a minute and see themselves. You won't be laughing, although the audience is very much. A large performance with the sensational roles of Cezary Żak, Jarosław Boberk and Grzegorz Warchoł, who proves that in the editorial office, which is trained at the command in bending its neck before the authorities, only the cleaning woman retains her professional dignity.
