The script describes the protagonist's experience looking for a job, with priority given to his reactions as he tries to keep thinking positively and viewing tough situations with humor and distance. This is not a classical piece based on the intricate dramatic build-up. There is, in fact, very little drama in here. What is more important is the creation of an intimate conversational atmosphere between the protagonist and the spectator, similar to that between friends. This solo act became a hit in Poland. Reviews. "Marcin Zarzeczny's Confessions of an Unemployed Actor proved a fantastic performance. The artist's impressive skills held the audience fascinated with his personality and adventurous search for employment." gniezno24.pl "Despite the mono-drama lasting one hour and a half, the spectators were breathlessly following the protagonist's story about his search for permanent employment in film or theatre, sending hundreds of emails, looking for contacts, and in the meantime earning a living with different means." Wprost Weekly "Must see". Teatrologia, UMCS Lublin Show less «
