Ten Polish classmates — five Jewish and five Catholic — grow up as friends and neighbors, then turn on one another with life and death consequences. Inspired by real life events surrounding a horrific 1941 pogrom in a small Polish village, this shocking, timely story follows their lives from childhood through eight decades in a new contemporary production of Tadeusz Słobodzianek’s masterpiece, from Ukrainian-born Jewish director Igor Golyak.
“I'm so happy to finally be working with Igor Golyak and on such an important play as Our Class. Especially now. I saw the performance in New York and was quite moved by it. I want to speak loudly about what happens to people when they are overwhelmed by hatred and war. It will be a wonderful experience to collaborate on this play.”
Chulpan Khamatova
