Hunting Cockroaches
by Janusz Głowacki, Jadwiga Kosicka
Synopsis
The Manhattan Theatre Club had a hit with this off beat comedy about a contemporary immigrant couple from Poland who are having a hard time in their strange new country.
Anka, a well known actress in Warsaw, can't get work because of her accent; Jan, a writer, is struggling with writer's block.
As they try to get some sleep, flash backs bring characters from their past crawling from beneath the bed.
