Hunting Cockroaches

15 Jun

Writer Janusz Glowacki
Director Anna Galek
Producer Emma Novak

A surreal comedy set in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, which focusses on a Polish immigrant couple’s difficulties in reconciling their past with their present. Anka, a well-known actress in Warsaw, can’t get work because of her accent; Jan, a writer, is struggling with writer’s block. Hunting Cockroaches explores struggles of the individual in a repressive state, and the manipulations of political and social power. 

Anna Galek trained at RCSSD and originally comes from Poland. She specialised in devised theatre and also performed in London, Wales and during Edinburgh Fringe in Land of the Dragon (★★★★★ The Stage). Anna was a puppet maker for Peter Pan (Polka Theatre, The Offies 2015). In 2018, Anna directed The Witch’s Necklace (Juozo Miltinio Drama Theatre).
