"The Water Hen" - Onyx Theatre - Goldstar:
"The Ministry of Culture in the new Communist Poland decided to exhume Witkiewicz's body in the post-war period and move it to Shakopane, and give him a ceremonial burial with honors. It was performed according to plan, though nobody was allowed to open the coffin delivered by the Soviet authorities.
Much later, a genetic study proved that the body belonged to an unknown Ukrainian woman — a final absurdist joke 50 years after the publication of the writer's last novel."
