I have to add that in all of these plays I was working with Krystyna Zachwatowicz, my wife, and she was the set designer. From the play The Devils, for which she made the costumes, through all of the subsequent plays, we worked together and her participation in each of them was huge. She didn't just design the sets, for Krystyna has a wonderful understanding of theatre and often many of the ideas in the theatre came from her.

No tu muszę powiedzieć, że w tych wszystkich spektaklach towarzyszyła mi Krystyna Zachwatowicz, moja żona, jako scenograf. Od przedstawienia Biesy, do którego robiła kostiumy, poprzez wszystkie następne pracowaliśmy razem i tu w każdym z tych spektakli wielki jej udział. Nie tylko jako scenografa, ale Krystyna fantastyczne miała zrozumienie teatru i bardzo często wiele pomysłów teatralnych to są pomysły, które, że tak powiem, przychodziły z jej strony.

Polish film director Andrzej Wajda (1926-2016) was a towering presence in Polish cinema for six decades. His films, showing the horror of the German occupation of Poland, won awards at Cannes and established his reputation as both story-teller and commentator on Poland's turbulent history. As well as his impressive career in TV and film, he also served on the national Senate from 1989-91.
