Review: Sandbox and The First Time

It is not only refreshing, but intellectually challenging to experience new work from different cultures. For that reason alone I applaud 59E59 for hosting Made in Poland: A Festival of New Polish Plays, presented by the Polish Cultural Institute. In Sandbox/The First Time, two one-act plays by Michal Walczak, there are additional reasons for applause—specifically, talented casts, bold use of repetition, smart sets, and keen directing.
