The legendary Theatre of the Eighth Day from Poland will premiere Wormwood in New York City in a special two performance event on November 11 and November 12 at the Abrons Arts Center. The play was famously banned in 1985 for its frank depiction of life in Poland under Martial Law. Founded in 1964, Theatre of the Eighth Day was one of the most uncompromising theater groups in Communist Poland and remains so today. It made its US debut to critical acclaim at the MADE IN POLAND Festival in New York City in November 2008, where it presented its 2007 avant-garde docudrama, The Files, based on actual secret police reports between 1975 and 1983 on the Theatre's actors. Wormwood will also play Yale Rep November 5 - November 7.
