The Sandbox/The First Time – Made in Poland Festival

These are two one act comedies presented as part of the Made in Poland Festival.

The Sandbox is about a couple’s inability to articulate emotions, except through the language of globally mass-marketed brand names and advertising. While sitting in a sandbox, Him and Her try to figure out how to love each other despite their linguistic challenges.

In The First Time, he and She try to have a sexual relationship, but are thwarted at each step by the weather, family, hunger, and the punctured illusions of a post-communist society.
