Fodor's Expert Review Narodowy Teatr Stary

Kraków's oldest and most renowned theater stages mostly Polish and international classical dramas—but it has found more recent fame for creative and contemporary takes on the classics, and for not avoiding "difficult" subjects. Although plays are in Polish language, English translations are often (but not always) provided in the form of supertitles screened above the stage. "Stary" enjoys the status of a national theater and is named after Helena Modrzejewska, a 19th-century Polish actress who performed on the American stage.
