About the show

"Конотопська відьма” in Gdansk!

Embark on a theatrical journey to 19th century Ukraine, coming soon to Gdańsk. On Sunday, May 18, 2025, at the Gdańsk Theatre Szekspirowski, witness an impressive performance by the Ukrainian Franko Theatre – "Конотопська відьма” ( en “The Witch of Konotop”). This production reimagines the work of writer Hryhoriy Kvitka-Osnovianenko, a satirical fantasy story that was written by the author in 1833.

“Lines for the play snake around the block, with people waiting up to seven hours to buy tickets to the theater in central Kyiv,” The New York Times writes about Ivan Uryvsky's production. 

Franko Theater's performance in Poland!

The Ukrainian play about which The New York Times wrote is an impressive production about the 19th century, witches, and Cossacks, which raises many topics that are still relevant today. It will be interesting, exciting, maybe even scary, but you will undoubtedly get a vivid impression from watching the play "Конотопська відьма”. Buy tickets for the theater event in Gdansk on our website or at the box office of your city. Tickets are selling out very quickly, so don't delay.

• The performance will start at 14:00.
