Abstract
Jan Klata directed his version of Hamlet (2004) in the historic Gdańsk Shipyard, famous for the strikes of the workers and the rise of the Solidarity movement, as a result of which Poland became a democracy, rapidly changing its economy, manners and values. It has become a different country and a different society. Staged in the derelict shipyard, used here also as a symbolic stage set, this particular production seems to present the views of the new generation, for whom the past is just a myth, and the present offers just a simulacrum of well-being.
