On Wednesday the 29th of November I went with Dan and Costas to the Arts Theatre in Covent Garden to see 'My Polish roots (and other vegetables)', a show by Karola Gajda. This was a part of my extensive education programme aiming to promote Polish history and culture among unaware foreigners (I am also encouraging them to read 'A question of honour' on Polish pilots in the RAF during WWII). The show is excellent, she talks about her life: a girl growing up in the UK in a family of Polish immigrants. She exhibits her shopping addiction, her struggle to be posh or at least middle-class, uses private family videos and pictures, cooks a beetroot soup on the stage, is funny, sharp and smuggles through some important messages on Polish history and nature of humans. Strongly recommended.
