From the play's advertisement:
"A criminal theatrical play. A corpse appears and disappears, moves. A complicated intrigue that gives the audience pleasure and expressive stage characters! Characters! Eight brilliantly drawn characters. Including a pair of funny and incorrigible old men - a clumsy inspector and a "know-it-all cleaning lady", an acquaintance of the inspector from his youth who "helps" him find the murderer.
Directed by Krystyna Janda and she in the title role, the unbearable Lili. In the other roles, Magdalena Lamparska alternates with Vanessa Aleksander, Natalia Berardinelli, Magdalena Smalara, Mateusz Damięcki, Mirosław Haniszewski, Adam Serowaniec alternates with Paweł Ciołkosz and Krzysztof Stelmaszyk."
This typical "boulevard art" play is not really worth a serious commentary.
This very trivial crime story would probably be even more embarrassing if not for the actors (names above), who saved it from extreme boredom (in my opinion).
At times it was even funny and amusing.
And that would be all on this topic.
